I made this card for Kim's VSN challenge called Black, Bright and Beautiful. The challenge was to use a dark neutral (I chose black) and a bright color (my bright green) with a dessert option of shimmer. I tried shimmer spritz on my coffee sleeve, but it didn't show up very well. So I added some silver cording. Hopefully, I won't be in too much trouble for adding copious amounts of white. It's hard for me to create without it.
