HIGH IMPACT CARD DESIGN ideas with just TWO COLOURS!

I'm usually all about bold colours, but the boldest combination of all is just black and white! I made cards for pretty much every occasion you can think of!

Ardyth you are amazing and I sure love telling you that! This idea of taking each occasion and applying the media etc to it is a true stroke of genius. I’ve never seen this done before.

Your black and white cards are anything but bland! I love the drama created by offsetting the floral and leaving out some of the pieces on the first card! The combination of card stock, vellum, and glitter also made a marvelous love card. Your creativity has been an inspiration!!

My favorite go -to when I need a quick card or I'm not feeling so creative. Most times they make more of a statement than adding more colors. My favorite black and white cards are when I ink embossing folders. I have a lacy folder I have used this technique on a lot that I had to get a second one for not inking. It's no longer available. Luckily it was on clearance when I needed it.

Hi Ardyth, just wondering where do you sell your cards? Etsy, markets, fb marketplace?

I don't really sell online - shipping would cost more than the cards. Thanks for watching!

[@divahc1]

@@ardyth thanks for replying. So you go to markets and sell? Just wondering as I'm thinking I might try making and selling cards.

[@ardyth]

@@divahc1 Markets are definitely an option. I think it's very difficult to make money making cards unless you can mass-produce them some way. I do sell my cards to friends and family, and often at church as a fundraiser, and I often donate them to nursing homes as well. I hope you are successful in your business venture!

[@divahc1]

@@ardyth thank you. Making money from any craft is difficult. It would just be for pin money that I'd sell them really. And to have a reason for making them.
