Karen...I LOVE this card! Are those black rhinestones on the top right and at the bottom? I love them. The black magic is, as always, beautiful! So glad I got to check this out! This gives me some inspiration for my next project! {By the way, Layla is working on your Valentines Day card(s)...she definitley has the stampers gene!}
