The PTI Challenge - use a black background.
Here's my card:
I used two stamps from PTI Background Basics Hearts on my black background. I stamped three sections of tiny hearts with Versamark and clear embossing powder.
I stamped one row of text in Versamark with white embossing powder.
A row of aqua felt PTI hearts, a PTI doily die, a crocheted flower topped with a PTI rose felt flower, OOOH and some pearls and twine and there you have it!
Here's a close up of my focal point which pops off the page with the black background!
Will I use a black background ever again - no, not my style, but it was FUN trying!
Hope you like it!

This is so pretty! I love the blue with the black and your flower/doily combo is very pretty!
Absolutely gorgeous Sue! What a fabulous colour scheme, I love the aqua crochet doily, and little rose, stunning!
One hundred percent gorgeous, Sue! Lovely lovely creation.
Gorgeous I tell ya!!!
So pretty Sue! Love the white embossing and beautiful layered flower! Way to rock the black background!
Very pretty card! I love all the texture you added-- especially that gorgeous crocheted flower!
I love the aqua with the hot pink...gorgeous.
Oh, how pretty Sue Lelli. Love the aqua with the black. The doily is gorgeous!
Beautiful Sue, love the embossed background.
This is so pretty. I wish I could touch it. That felt rose and crocheted flower add so much texture and warmth.
The mint and black are great together. I would have never thought to use them; great card!
Beautiful card, liking the aqua with the black.
I think you should use a black background again, you are a natural with it. It really makes all your lovely embellishments pop.
I just love that soft green stands out against the background, wonderful work!!!!
This is beautiful Sue! Love the embossed tiny hearts in clear with the white text! And the perfect focal to top it off! Love the crochet element! My fav!!! :)Jill
Who would have thought that a card made with a black card base could look so delicate and pretty! Love the lace doily with crochet flower and rose!
Pretty card!
It's so cool that there is only one stamp on the card, and the rest is just embellishments. (Just put on the glasses. When will I ever learn that my sight isn't what it used to be?). I love the little black clear embossed hearts! Did you make the crocheted flower and felt rose yourself? I think you might be a dabbler...like me. These make for a romantic card.
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving the comment. I thought I was being so clever to have the first of the phrase on the inside of the card. It's possible you were the only one that got it. (So much for thinking outside the box. I sort wandered a bit too far from my box!)
Enjoy your time hopping.
I love the embossed hearts and that fabulous crocheted flower! A beautiful card!
Sue, your card is beautiful. Did you make the crocheted flower too?
This is really beautiful! I love the soft, sweet colors and all the texture of the different materials. Really lovely!
What's not to like? I love the large focal embellishment and how it ties in so nicely with the heart border! :)
The crochet flower and PTI felt flower is super cute!
Gorgeous card!! Lovely cards!!
Just looking at this card you'd never know it wasn't your style. It looks fabulous!! That crocheted flower give such great texture. Hmmm, I should make some myself : )
Modern romantique! Tres bien! Your card is lovely. It's soft but not subtle. A perfect mixture of what might be considered to opposites. Beautifully done!
This is beautiful, Sue! Ilove the embossed heart background! Pretty crochet flower too!
Sue, you rocked the black background! Love the embossing! And the pretty crochet flower embellie is beautiful !
Sue, I love the hearts under the text stamping and that lil doily on the side! This is so pretty!
This is gorgeous! I love the layers of doily and flowers! Gorgeous colors against the black too!
STUNNING work Sue~I love that crocheted flower and clear embossed background. These are all lovely touches~
Very pretty Sue! I like the black and white and aqua mist with the pop of pink. Like you, I'm not sure I will use black backgrounds much, but it was fun trying it. But you did a fabulous job!
Beautiful!!
The embossed background...
love!!
And that doily with the crochet and felt...
the perfect finishing touch! :)
Your aqua on black with the pops of pink is lovely Sue! Great texture with the felt, twine and crocheted flower ;)

Everything about this is beautiful!

Oh this is so pretty ... I love that mint green with the black ... beautifully done my friend
Absolutely gorgeous! Very striking with the black background, white, and mint colors!
Beautiful doily, flower, and hearts! You did a fab job on this challenge, Sue...great job!
I must know where you got that crochet flower! My house is accented in aqua or aqua marine .... I am totally obsessed as I miss my ocean! So that is how I bring it in to bring me closer! :-) However if I had one, I would hoard it and never use it I am sure! :-)
Your card is stunning! The white and aqua really pop off the black. Love the rolled felt flower! Sorry I am such a bad friend. It's a bit hectic on this end with the short stack and now Matt is sick. Calgone take me away!!!! Do they even make that stuff anymore...????.....there's your laugh for the day!
Beautiful! I love the crochet flower with the felt rolled rose in the middle. :)
Hugs~
That is stunning! You should so use it again (the colour combo), the pastel shades mixed with the black looks gorgeous.
The flower is so pretty, did you crochet it?

I think the black background challenge was a tough one. But you pulled it off brilliantly here! Fantastic choice of colors and elements. Very nice. ;-)
Very pretty.
Love the blue accent color.
Awesome layout.
Those embossed dots with the white script looks stunning.
simply stunning!! Fabulous colour combo! Hugs Juls
