Been a few changes over at Crafty Cardmakers and More for 2014 - a new title, new teams and different types of challenges as we're also adding some Mixed Media themes!
For our team's first challenge of 2014 Kim has chosen the theme 'BLACK & WHITE' - no other colours except flesh colours for people.
This colour combo just makes me think of silent movies!
So a movie inspired card is my DT offering for Kim's challenge and I combined digi stamps with a 'real' one to achieve the effect that I wanted!
The papers are old stuff from my stash so I have no idea who's they are.
The image is an old stamp which I have had for years and rarely used. (It was in the 'shall I get rid of ?' drawer!)
Stamped onto bright white card and matted onto black before mounting it onto the base. I popped a teeny bit of red ink onto her lips and I hope I will be forgiven- well you can't have a movie star without cherry lips can you?????
The film reel and clapper board were free digi stamps some time back. Raised these also with 3d foam pads and some film strip acetate stuck behind (have no more of this left so that's the end of my movie career....!!)
The stars and sentiment were all PC printed and I finished it off with some black sequins, a black organza bow and some white pearls.
The inside is decorated with the same papers and another star.
I am quite disappointed with the quality of this pic as the colour isn't as sharp as it should be - think I should have asked Santa for a new camera?
I hope you can come and join us this month - our sponsors are Woodware and Di's Digi Stamps.

Wow Viv, what a Star of a card you have created - full of the elegance and style of the early days of film-making. You may feel that we have lost a little of the detail through the photographs but actually, the photograph does add to the atmosphere of the age and theme.
Thank you for sharing this lovely card in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx (OSAAT Team)

This is stunning Viv! Love all the elements and it would have been a perfect card for me to send to my stepson we have had to buy one as none of my male cards were suitable for a gay man but I think this would have been quite good!! Susan x
I really like your card. My daughter is really into old time movie stars, this would be perfect image for her B-day card. I like the sequin ribbon you added it really adds a nice touch. Thank you for sharing and joining us at OSAAT.
