I started with Bermuda Bay cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Basic Black cardstock as a mat for the piece of designer series paper from the Pop of Pink Speciality Designer Series Paper pack(retiring) (both the Melon Mambo piece and the basic black printed piece are from the same DSP package so they coordinate, and were scraps I had so once again "use it up!")
Next I took the Big Shot and Stitched Shapes Framelits to cut both the largest circle out of Gold Foil and the greeting that is from the Designer Tin of Cards stamp set (retiring). I wanted a little extra color so I added a circle mat out of Melon Mambo cardstock, cut out with the Big Shot and the Layering Circles Framelits, to go behind the greeting and attached that circle piece to the foil circle with dimensionals. The final touch was to tie a bow out of Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine (retiring) and attaching it with a glue dot.
I love the simplicity of this card and how the colors pop against the black, with just a hint of sparkle with the foil. I'm working on cleaning up the studio which means I'm going to be working on using lots of the scraps and pieces from my orphan pile (since I hate to throw things away) so let's see what we can create with pieces we already have to make room for lots of fun new stuff on the way.
