This is my card for today's Inspiration Challenge - to be inspired by the beautiful designs in the Mackenzie-Childs store. I had to make it quick today because I really should be packing and cleaning up instead of making cards. LOL!
I was mainly inspired by the black background and the elegant pattern. I thought this would work great for an anniversary card I needed. I stamped the Bella Toile background and the sentiment onto Basic Black CS with Versamark and embossed with Silver EP. I cut the sentiment panels with Curved Rectangle Nesties and popped them up on foam tape. Added silver shimmer brads and some sheer black ribbon and silver cord to finish it.
Thanks, Stef and Anne, for the great inspiration today and TFL!
This is it for me until I return next weekend, so Happy New Year everyone!
