Clean and Simple Colour Combo

I seem to be on a bit of a Clean and Simple kick lately with my cards.

 

I wanted to make a card for the Red and Black challenge at Dilly Beans challenge blog this week and I decided to use this gorgeous Lulu Framed image:

 

 

I coloured her with Promarkers and a white gel pen and added some Glossy Accents to the hearts.

 

 

I decided to use a black card blank for my base card and I ummed and aahed for a while with patterned papers etc but in the end decided it looked better just keeping it simple with a die-cut flourish (just got this yummy Cheery Lynn die today), a couple of flowers...

 

 

...and a hand-written sentiment. I also added some little corner details with dabs of Enamel Accents:

 

 

 

I love this colour combo, it's so striking. :)
