Classical Elegance

Welcome

Thank you for visiting my blog, your visits are appreciated.
I started this several days ago,  but time once more has moved more quickly than me, and I have spent the last 24 hours sneezing with the start of a cold... 

I would like to welcome my newest follower - Donna Ellis of Creative Smiles. Donna makes some beautiful cards, and I would encourage you to go have a look.


I started this card with a piece of card I had cut the lady out of - the die is an unmarked one


I layered the white card over a deep maroon, and added some gold sequins around the silhouette 


The sentiment was embossed in gold


And the edges sponged with Delicata Gold ink - I did managed to get this photo where the sparkle of the gold ink shows



There are two strips of washi tape layered on the card and the envelope.

A beautiful CAS feminine card Maxine. Do hope the cold shifts quickly, as I'm writing I'm realising it's Winter in your parts.

This is a very elegant silhouette and very clever use of the negative when hyou have been diecutting,
I don't think it would be you if there was not a sentiment embossed, and especially gold embossed. You do it so elegantly.
Sorry to hear you are coming down with a cold, look after yourself and stop it in its tracks.
Blessings,. Neet xx
