Hi guys! Labels 20 again today. This card is white with a bit of silver and black to it. I embossed the white background with the Floral embossing folder. I cut the largest label 20 die in white and added the matching black rhinestone nestabling to the edge. This served as the bottom layer for my focal element. Next I stamped the Justrite stamp from the Kindness set using a clear perfect medium pad and I heat embossed with black embossing powder for a tone on tone look. I cut it out with the matching die and on the inside I used the fancy tags two die so I created a frame of sorts. I cut another labels 20 out of silver card and glued the two pieces together. When I demoed this one on C & C, I added clear micro beads to the silver die cut and thought it came out quite pretty. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with one of the smaller Labels 20 dies. I inked it lightly with Black Soot while still in the die. I mounted it on foam in the middle for dimension. I created a plaited ribbon border for the bottom of my card using the reversible black/silver satin ribbon. I have a tutorial showing how to do this at the top of the blog now. I used the same ribbon, but in a thinner width to add a decorative bow. A black Dazzler and stick pins completed the embellishment nicely. I added some black rhinestone swirls to the top and bottom opposite corners. I pierced around the edges using a piercing ruler to complete the card. Finished dimensions are 7 1//2" x 8 1/2" in size.

Such an elegant card. Love the ribbon plait.
These oils have been tested and proven to be effective against a
variety of warts. Another available treatment option that can be done at home without
a prescription is a topical ointment. This sounds drastic but as long as you pay
due care and attention when carrying the task out the removal should happen without a hitch.
