Blogger's Challenge #50
Today's challenge was to use black and white. I so love the look of these colors together. I think it is so elegant looking. My card went together really fast today!
I started with a black base and then added a layer of Whisper White. I used my cuttlebug embossing folder to add dots to the top and bottom of the white. Next I used my scor-pal to add lines to separate the plain white part from the embossed white part. I added some rubons to add a bit more of a separation. The medallions are from the BoHo Backgrounds set and they are embossed in detail black power and then punched out with the 1 and 1/2 inch circle punch. Two are layered on the scallop circle punch and one is on the Nestabilites scallop circle with added dots from my white gel pen. This one is also popped up. They all have white brads in the center. As a finishing touch I added the word Thank You from a rub on and four half pearls from the Pretties kit! I am really happy with the results.

I love your elegant card and what a great idea to add the panel using the score pal to add to the middle of your card - it certainly gives the whole card another dimension!
