Color Coordinates: Black!
Some may feel black is dark and gloomy, but I consider it to be an elegant Neutral!

Simon Says Stamp Black is dreamy! A very rich black perfect for using on invitations, cards and projects. Black is a neutral that can be paired with browns and rich reds for a vintage look. You can also use it with white, greys and other bright tones for a more graphic appeal.
I’ve found some fun product for the Color Coordinates Black to inspire you to use it as a base for other colors. I’ve put together a video of my walk through and explanation of my card.
To start my card off, I created a black top folding card and added a panel of grey pattern paper from the Glitz Black & White paper pad.
I started adding layers by using the Kelly Purkey Number stickers to create a little count down, then continued with strips of paper and My Mind’s Eye washi tape.
To add my greeting, I used the Tiny Tag Dies and stamped “UR Amazing” from the Tiny Tag word set. I finished things of with some enamel shapes and gems.

I have really been into neutrals with gold and black lately… Love this post!
Love black as an accent color. It can really make other colors pop!
Love the black and white with a pop of red – stunning!
Nothing gloomy as far as I’m concerned, simply LOVE it all!!

Another fabulous collection of products and an awesome card.
Black is always so classy! Love the collection you have put together ( especially the star washi). I follow the blog by email.
I agree! Black is an elegant neutral! Love your card!
So pretty! Love the paper packs too!
The colour features are such a brilliant concept–I wonder if these videos could be somehow tagged on the SSS shopping site? Or the project lists and concept cards somehow high-lighted so that if you clicked on one of the products, when shopping, the whole color coordinate link would appear, for inspiration.
Anyway, Shari is a continual genius. I struggle to use alpha stickers–here is a great way! Also strips of paper as accents. Lovely!
Black is a staple in my card making! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration!
Black is one of my go-to neutrals! It’s a bold one so things don’t get lost when you pair them next to this color!
Love your color coordinates. Washi tape is a cool finish on a cool card!
love the classic color combo
Wonderful card, and a black and white card is always great and look so elegant somehow.
Love all the products!
Beautiful card and elegant color collection :)

Black is perfect to balance bright colors. I need more black in my stash!
Not gloomy at all. How would we stamp without black? Lots of great inspiration here.
