We were to take two different colors of paper, and find stamp pads to match. Then stamp an image on the one paper with the coordinating ink, and on the other paper using the second ink. Next we were to cut them in the same place and match one half of one with the other half of the other. I think an example will help to clarify what I mean.
For the focal on this card, I started with black paper, silver paper, black ink, and silver ink. After stamping a black image on the silver paper and a silver image on the black paper (using the same image), I cut them both in the same place. Then I took the left part of the black paper and the right part of the silver paper and matched the images up to create a rather striking focal. (Thanks, Nancy, for this challenge. Great idea!)
The background paper for my card (Die Cuts with a View - "All Dressed Up" mat stack) with it's black and silver stripes set the focal off quite nicely. I finished my card off with a black ribbon & bow and bordered the focal with silver Peel-Off border stickers.
The picture doesn't do this card justice. The contrast between the black and silver and the sparkle of the silver just don't show up well in the picture. In real life it looks very elegant.
