AAA Cards DT: Inspired by song, book or movie

A themed challenge this week over at AAA Cards: a clean and simple card design based on your favourite song, book or movie. As normal, I worked through my stash and sought out which bits and bobs I could use to make my design team sample card. I’ve fudged my response to the theme a little… Here’s my homage to ‘every black and white movie ever made’:

My stash included the giant stamp from Carabelle Studio that incorporated the film strip. When I looked at the paper doll from Tim Holtz, I discovered that it wasn’t printed in black and white and had a distinct green tint to the highlights. This shaped my choice of stamped ink colour and I ended up mixing green and black ink on the stamp to try and get a similar colour scheme. I used Old Paper ink as it can have a slight green tinge to it and gave a nod to old sepia tones too.
