January Color Challenge: Black and Gold

Welcome to 2023! Sarah (sterkeurs) here and I am so pleased to bring you the first Color Challenge of the year. Usually by this time, I am done with the glitter and decorations of the season, but I really adore the combination of black and gold – it is just so classy! It doesn’t need to be limited to a holiday theme. This colour combo would be great for many kinds of pages. There are so many great products in the store that you can use. Katie put together this awesome freebie pack for you to use and be sure to check out the following kits for some great black and gold elements:

   

   

The Creative Team and Guest Creative Team members are getting us started with some great inspiration.

Products used: Challenge Freebies, Hello 2023 Stamp Pack, Golden Pretty Scrapbook Collection, Patterning Palettes 03 Solids Paper Pack, 

Valerie (Nana_vg) used the colours and added a pop of purple to document a very special graduation.

Products Valerie used: Vintage Artistry Collectors 01 Solid Papers Pack (gold paper), Floridian Beach Scrapbooking Kit (gold ticket), Vintage Artistry Butter Ephemera (butterfly), White on White Paper Pack 02, Classic Cardstock: Spring (purple paper), Palette Textures Paper Pack 30 (clipped to envelope)

For my page, I had only one photo of the champagne we had on New Year’s Eve and most of my photos were terrible and blurry. I thought that the black and gold with a bit of glitter would be a great first page to start the year!

Products used on my page: Hello 2023 Stamp Pack, Seasons Finest Edges, Seasons Finest Solids Paper Pack, Seasons Finest Roughed Up Photo Mats, Touch of Gold Photo Frames 01, Evergreen Season Element Pack, Golden Season Solids Paper Pack

I really hope you feel inspired to start the year off with a page using black and gold! Don’t forget to download the freebie pack and use any of all of the elements on your page. Be sure to post your page in the Color Challenge Gallery and add it to the Monthly Challenge Forum for the opportunity to grab some great discounts in the store!
