Black and White Birthday

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.

  15. 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
