Another GREAT color challenge by the Play Date Cafe and I finished this card with only 8 hours to go! This is for a friend of mine I have met through card making. While these colors aren't exactly feminine, I think they are truly ELEGANT together! Hope she likes it!
This is a close up of my flower made with my new Tim Holtz Sizzix Tattered Flower Die. I used my fingernails to curl and crinkle the petals. I'm making Cathie meet me in person tomorrow because I don't want the post office to ruin this flower!!!
This is the entire card. As usual, my camera just can't capture the way cool embossing on the white background. I used the PTI Damask impression plate and it is subtle yet stunning in person. The punch is Martha Stewart, the brad is Spare Parts, the ribbon is from my ribbon "collection," the die is a PTI label die with a co-ordinating stamp, the book page is from a class I took at CKC Houston. I had a brilliant idea! Instead of ripping pages out of a book, especially now that I have seen that movie The Book of Eli, I am just going to keep this one dictonary page and make copies of it on my computer! It's those simple things that make me happy! Now I'm off to look at all of the FABULOUS cards posted for this challenge and leave lots of comments!

OMG, Sue, this is STUNNINGLY gorgeous -- I HOPE she doesn't like it, you can send it to ME!!! I truly LOVE this color combo & I do think it's quite feminine!!! I love to work with black, white or cream & Kraft or brown! If you blow up your first photo & enlarge you can see the embossing better -- SIGH -- another die I NEED!
