During a stamping storm with friends, I told them to pick stamp sets and colors and I would create within those parameters. Imagine my dismay when my least favorite colors were chosen, but when I finished the card I was quite happy with it! I was inspired by a card made by my friend Shari with much softer colors. I love the way this turned out! And no matter what you make, if you slap some sparkly black cardstock on it - it's wonderful instantly!! Happy Tuesday everyone!!

WOW!!! What an amazing card! I think I need to start following your tip about sparkly black cardstock so I can come close to making a beautiful card like this.

These might not be your fav colors, Karen, but your card is just gorgeous. This is just so well designed. All the matting layers just add to the "awesomness" of your stunning creation.
