I resisted the tempation to add Elvis-style studs or bling but gave in to a touch of opulence with a silk bow. This is a larger format card (5" x 7") to give space for the wider matting to give a more elegant feel. A sentiment on a strip curved to give a little more dimension finishes things off.

Thanks for visiting after a short break from me - I had a couple of weeks vacation and then came home to the most enormous pile of work so crafting and blogging have take a bit of a back seat. I'll have more things to share this week though so please stop by again if you have the time, I really appreciate your visits!

ReplyDeleteLove it - especially the added touch of opulence - just right x
ReplyDeleteUtterly gorgeous, love how you have resisted 'overdoing' it - I would have thrown colour at it and it looks perfect with just a few touches of colour. The tag & bow set it off nicely, I think thats a great idea for a Xmas card and will bear it in mind:)
