SIMPLE BUT ELEGANT

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday.  I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend.  We went to see Avatar.  I must tell you that I was not crazy about seeing this movie.  My DD had been trying to get me to go see it with her (she saw it opening weekend) for a while.  Well, I finally agreed.  Typically if a movie is getting a lot of hype, I don't like it.  However, if it gets bad reviews or so-so reviews I love it.  I guess I'm just weird like that!  We went to the theater, and I had very low expectations.........3 hours later I came out totally blown away with this movie.  I thought that it was fantastic.  It was nothing like the previews.  If you get a chance to see it while it is in 3D, I highly recommend it.  What did you do this weekend?

This is a card that I made several months ago.  I needed a simple yet elegant card, but I needed it in a BIG hurry.  I just used black cardstock for the base and this pretty black and white paper (it has glitter on the flowers.)  It's from a DCVW pack called The All Dressed Up Glitter pack.  I used the Fiskars Threading Water border punch on the black card base.

 I added the glittered top layer, rounded the corners and a velvet black ribbon. I cut some more of the black and patterned cardstock and layered it and rounded the corners.  I then I stamped the flowers on the top piece of black cardstock using a stamp set that I got at Michael's.  I used white ink.  I found a little pearl embellishment in my stash and added that.

It didn't take long at all to complete, and I think it looks pretty good for a quick card.

  I hope you are having a great week so far.  As always, comments are always welcome.  I love hearing from you and getting your feedback.

Thanks,
Robyn
