For this week's inspiration challenge based upon a silver chest, which is just gorgeous. I pastel embossed the small flowers and leaves from the Best Blossoms set on the black bg. Chose ivory and mellow moss for the center panel and outlined in bravo burgundy to match the burgundy silk flower. TFL!

This is so striking! I love the way the pastel embossed flowers contract with the black. I'm gonna have to go check out that silver chest you're talkin' about! Great card!

Very pretty. I had never seen the pastel embossing until the challenge the other other day, but I recognized it in your card right away. You did an awesome job.
