This week Brat cards gave us the TSC challenge. She gave us two inspiration pictures. I chose the one with a gold and black kitchen with some ivory added in. Sorry I can't get her PDF to work here, due to the fact I don't know how to do it.
I ask where this card came from as it is not really the style card I usually make. I dyed some lace black last night to use where I placed the ribbon, but the lace did not dry so I had to use the ribbon instead. The gold beads on the border came from an idea I got from my friend, Christina, when I was in her gallery this morning. Take a look at her wonderful work: Diamond Friend by 4815162342 at Splitcoaststampers

Oooo a new style for you sis a kind of Christian Dior 1940's going on there. The ribbon looks good, I love that border, and the beads just finish it nicely I think hugs from Princess C.

Great card, I have this stamp but have not used it ln a long time you have inspired me to get it out and brush off the dust Ha Ha. Love the punched border and the neat ribbon - so fitting to the look.
