Whew! Well, that’s finally over. My oldest graduated High School and the party is far behind us. I didn’t even get to decorate that much and I am still wore out. LOL While I am recuperating, I have a quick card I made for him to send as Thank You’s for the many wonderful gifts he received.
Super simple and elegant. I tried not to make them too girlie. Ryan’s said he liked them and the flowers didn’t bother him. They are mostly going to the wives anyway, right? hehe I am also entering this in the Kuretake Challenge: Go for the Gold. Maybe the Gold Medal winners at the Olympics can send my Thank You cards out too.

Love the beautiful black and gold! What a great cas card!
Wow, that is gorgeous. I also love my Silhouette cutting machines. I have the old blue crank knob, the SD, and the Cameo. Silhouette made crafting and creating so much fun. Your gorgeous card really show cases its abilities. Very creative. Thank you for sharing. xxx-Debbie
Thank you, ladies!!!
Michele, I’m sorry. I didn’t think anyone would care what kind of paper I used so I didn’t list it. For the flower, I used Recollections Metallic paper. Just the sentiment is embossed. But I was going to do exactly as you said and put glue down on the top and emboss the image. I decided against it at the last minute because I thought it would be too much work. LOL Great minds think alike! Just that mine is lazy. ^__^
This is beautiful, but for the life of me I can’t figure out how you did it using your cutting machine. Did you cut the shape out of cardstock and then put embossing powder over the entire image and then glue it down to black cardstock?
What a beautiful card. Love the gold on black. It is perfect for a Thank you card. Super job.
