I managed to combine three challenges in one. I made this card to send to my Father-in-law and Mother-in-law. My father-in-law has just finished chemo and radiation treatments for lung cancer - both of them have been having a very hard time dealing with all of this. I wanted to make a card to send to them.....
Main card is basic black. I stamped the weather bg in versamark and clear embossed it. Next is soft sky - stamped weather bg in not quite navy and also the baroque motif in not quite navy. Inked up the edges. Added the Gold strip of paper and black ribbon. My Dragonfly was stamped in versamark ink and then embossed with gold detail powder. I coloured the dragonfly with my Color-box fluid chalk ink. Matted with gold and black. The large brad was embossed with gold detail as well as the heart brads and sentiment on the scalloped sentiment panel. I applied gold metallic rub-on around the black oval scallop. Attached the black flower and leaves.

This is so gorgeous. Each detail is just right with the next. I love the Black with all the gold embossing. Your In-Laws will surely appreciate your thoughtfulness.
