Welcome
This card is a compilation of various company's products, but they came together beautifully.
I started with the idea of a channel for the sentiment, so die cut the borders using a lacy die, cutting into some gold and black splattered paper
I then measured where I wanted the sentiment and white embossed it on the black base card. The sentiment had longer 'tails' but I shortened them for this card by masking the stamp
Sitting the pieces together the card looked rather stark, so I white embossed the wee spray of flowers in white on black card, and die cut it
I then used the same die to cut a layer from gold paper, and off set it behind the black and white image
This photo shows some of the gold splatter in the background
The inside was decorated with a strip of the same gold paper.

How beautifully elegant Maxine and the hints of gold really draw the eye.

Love how you combined it with the golden .
I’m at home a few days in quarantaine because of Covid 19 feeling a bit as if I have the flue hopefully it doesn’t get any worse .

This is an elegant birthday card Maxine! I love the white/black and gold color combo. I also love when a sentiment is laid in a "trench" like that. The lacy die is so pretty as is that white/gold paper you used. The little flower is so pretty and finishes this card off perfectly. I so love this! Hugs, Brenda

ReplyDeleteI love monochrome and this black and white card is classy and elegant. That is a lovely way of putting the sentiment between the two edging dies.
