Papertrey Ink January Blog Hop - Take Two

Ok, here's my second entry in today's PTI Blog Hop - challenge black backgrounds.



For this one I wanted a really feminine look, so I created a sort of doily outline using a stamp from PTI's Mat Stack 5 collection and embossing it in white.  I'm not really loving the placement of the semi-circle, but it'll have to do. 




By the way, the inside of the card says, "I'm sorry I missed your birthday!"

Thanks for visiting!  One more entry in the hop on the way!

  4. Your fabulous circular frame really sets this card apart. I would have never thought to use that element to make a border, but it's stunning. (I bought that Mat Stack #5, just so I could have the ornaments!) You photographed your card perfectly. Did you do anything special to make the black so deep? Even Your shadows are beautiful.

    Thanks for taking the time to share.
