I was inspired by this card in the gallery: Elements in black and white by Londonblue at Splitcoaststampers of style
Changed it up a bit, and I think if I were to do my card over again, I might cut the Tulipe Bigz Die out of Bella Toile'd paper (the white part on the top of the card only). But all in all, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Yup, Kookzi got it right - this is indeed a very classy lookin' card Blondzi... Love the black and white - it's perfect the way it is, but I'll bet it would also be great with the Bella Toile paper for the top the way you described. Either way, it's a winner!

What a great card, Colleen! The hand-stamped DP looks just so good, and I LOVE how you incorporated the rhinestones, too. This is really elegant. Super for a black-tie affair!!!
