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.

Wow...this is soooo elegant and definitely brings beautiful! Your layering of detail is extraordinary - the black and white elements in contrast are just stunning and each one perfect. Beautiful work Elizabeth!
