The Play Date Cafe Challenge #69 - and Case Study #27 - Black Monarch

Today's card is for a combined challenge with The Play Date Cafe and Case Study.  I totally cased the card using the supplies I had with the Play Date Cafe challenge colours. I have added a few design elements of my own, like embossing and shaping the leaves and using the Spellbinders Blossoms Two Nestability to make the flower, which I cut to make petals, and used the Scallop Border Punch around three sides of the background layer.  I love how the base card is cut with a Nestability, I have not done it with this shaped card before, it is something I will do again..

Supplies:
Stamps: S/U's Priceless, Warmest Regards (R) 
Card and Papers: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Patterns Pack II DSP (R), Newsprint DSP, DS Paper Patterns Stack - Brights
Ink: Stazon Black, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Real Red, Garden Green

  7. Very pretty! I love all the green you used - a lot of people seem more focused on the black & red, so yours really pops out of the pack! :-) Thanks for playing along with us at The Play Date Cafe!
