I started with a Smokey Slate card base. I then cut a smaller piece of Smokey Slate Designer Series Paper from the Country Lace DSP. I stamped the intricate patterned stamp from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Smokey Slate ink all over the DSP. I then used a Blending Brush and Smokey Slate ink to darken the edges of the DSP for some depth. Then glued this to the card base.

I die cut the frame in Smokey Slate using the Gallery Bloom Dies. I adhered this to the centre of the DSP using Dimensionals. I stamped the bloom in Memento™Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White card stock. Coloured the flower with Crushed Curry Stampin' Write Marker And the leaves in Smokey Slate Blends. Then Die Cutting this piece. 

I cut two of the floral spray pieces in Smokey Slate. The die was from the Beautiful Motifs Dies. I glued these two pieces to the back of the flower piece and adhered to the left side of the frame using Dimensionals. I did trim one of the Smokey Slate sprays.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark™ink on a piece of Basic Black card stock. Sprinkled with White Embossing Powder and set with the Heat Tool. Use scissors to trim and adhere to the right hand side of the frame using Dimensionals. The finishing touch was adhering three of the Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls around the sentiment.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you will join us for this challenge.
