In My Thoughts

 Good morning all!  Today's card is one of my favourite colour combos with the black, gold and milk card choice.  I started by embossing the milk card for my background using the Braided Vines embossing folder.  I cut two of the Canadian Borders in milk card and turned them so the straight sides were to the outside and the inside swirls were slightly overlapping.  I glued them to the bottom of the card.  I made a decorative 3D bow using the Mosaic Bow in vintage gold card backed with the Classic Bow in black.  I assembled the bow and glued it into place in the centre of the two borders.  For the focal element, I used the Toronto die and cut the larger decorative die out of vintage gold card.  I backed it with black.  Next I stamped my sentiment on milk card and used the inside decorative die to cut it.  I mounted it in the centre with foam to raise it for dimension.  I matted the entire piece with a thin black at before adding my final matting and layering.  A very simple card, but elegant in its simplicity.  I added some flatback cream pearls as embellishments.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
