This card is for today's alphabet challenge using today's sketch for the layout. The alphabet challenge is on letter P is for perfume bottle which made this designer paper the obvious choice.
I stenciled circles and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. For my focal image, I die cut the perfume bottle and popped it up over a fussy cut background and fussy cut thin strip of Pink Pirouette cs. I completed it with a sweet wishes sentiment.
These components are all from a Hunkydory card collection except for the Pink Pirouette cs.
Thanks for the challenges and thanks for looking!

Catherine, this second card using the sketch proves how wonderfully versatile it is, and I love the elegance of the black and gold in the background and perfume bottle, which you partnered so beautifully with the pretty pink elements of your sketch.

This card radiates elegance and sophistication—the gold embossing adds such a luxurious touch, and the stenciled circles create a beautiful sense of movement. The perfume bottle focal point is so clever and perfectly suited to the challenge, especially paired with that soft Pink Pirouette strip. I love how you balanced bold contrast with delicate details to make the sentiment shine.
