Black Magic technique is where you stamp the image in white ink and then colour over the top in coloured pencils. This chocolate baroque stamp (bought back in the days of Graphicus), was a bit of a fiddly stamp to choose, but I found it very therapeutic! I dusted a little bit of white ink around the edges too. The background paper was a freebie from a magazine, and as I had a multicoloured owl I thought I would have some multicoloured leaves as well! A punched border, some die cut leaves and a bit of faux stitching finished it off.
I am entering this card into these challenges:
It is half term and I have spent most of the day up in the loft with hubby, sorting out after our new roof a few months ago. It was very dusty up there and we managed to shift about half the contents, either to the tip or to a friend with a nine month old baby (things like the fire guard, playpen and stair gate, and lots of toys!) I am now well and truly ready for a good shower and hair wash! Thanks for looking and for taking the time to leave a comment.

Beautiful card,lovely colours and design.xxx
This is gorgeous Sally. The owl looks very majestic against the brightly coloured background which is a perfect foil for him.
Great technique.
Hugs, Fliss xx
Fabulous! Gorgeous owl, love the BP too. Must try that technique.
Had to smile at the thought of you up in the loft covered in dust! Just what we did before we moved house. Yes, I think Meg probably doesn't need the playpen and stairgate any more now! x
Ooh, now that's a technique I've never heard of - so effective! Great stamp and perfect backing paper too!
Enjoy the rest of half term - goes too quickly doesn't it!

I love both this technique & the owl - must use him soon for he's such a beauty. You're right about it being ever so therapeutic with the colouring.
Love your addition of those leaves too.

There's a lovely 70s vibe to this bright card Sally! The black magic technique was a great choice for this owl. Vicky x
The owl is beautiful, and thank you for explaining the technique, I will try it. I know of stmaping on black paper with versamark and then color it with perfect pearls or pearl ex. Looks very beautiful as well.
Its lovely
