Papertake Weekly Challenge



This week's challenge theme is "Elegant Embossing".

I have gone for a minimalist theme with just a few colours and simple matting.

The embossing folder is Provocraft's Allegro and I have matted it onto black cardstock. The image is Penny Black's Ode to Joy, which I have watercoloured and matted onto black cardstock. I added chrome brads to the corner. The black glitter paper is from DCVW's Glitter matt Stack. I added that for a bit of glitz and sparkle.


Hopefully the result is a stylish, simple card.
