This is for two challenges:
For Flourishes "Bring Back Beautiful"challenge we were to create a monochromatic colour scheme. I've chosen tones of grey including silver and charcoal. I used the Damask set and created a background with black embossing on black cs. The central image is embossed in silver. The swirls are velum Tim Holtz dies embossed in silver eb powder. The butterfly is also silver embossed velum.
For Teapot Tuesday we had a damask teapot and teacup. Our cards are going to a fellow stamper who needs cheering up.

This is a wonderful card Elizabeth! The weekend of 9-11 and your reaction tells the story of how big your heart is! This card fits the challenge perfectly! Such classy tattoos on this card! As a matter of fact, they are so elegant that even Felicity is impressed with this new line of tattoos! I love how the white elements of the card pop against the greys.....wowza...its class, elegant, sophisticated and oh so Felicity! You did good! Thanks for thinking of Michelle!
