I love black and white and thought this would make a beautiful sympathy card for when I next need one. I've been having to make a lot of them as of late.
The good news is it's not a Christmas card, blue, green or red - A little change here from all the Christmas cards I've been making.
I changed the corner die cuts, added 2 ef backgrounds, some silver pearls, a different stamp, my own stamped background, flower and heart/cross charm. I added just a touch of dazzling diamonds around the leaves and flowers for a touch of sparkle. I don't think you can see it in the photo unfortunately. It really just kind of adds a little extra to the card.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and if you have a chance, let me know what you think. Have a great week!!

Ooooh, Pamster, you have really made a beauty this time. I absolutely love the elegance of black and white and that charm is soooo pretty! The corners are outstanding, as well as the image. This card is sure to give someone a lift. Now, go give my card a comment. It has -0- because it is ugly but it is what it is...for a challenge and that is what I thought of to do for this particular one. It is c-r-e-e-p-y!!
I love your beautiful creation!!!!!!!!!!

I confess, Pam - you do make the most beautiful cards - and this one is fabulous!! I would never have thought of leaving the line are flower just uncoloured like that - but the effect is wonderful!!! Sorry - truly - to hear that you have needed many sympathy cards as of late. but you do a beautiful job!!!
