I send a lot of cards. Mostly, they're "Thinking of You" Cards. I often send them to the same people over and over so I try to make them look different. Today, I wanted to make something non-traditional so I took out black roses and some leftover patterened paper. I think black roses are really elegant when used with traditional black and white/ivory. I added a touch of glitter with my new Stella Pen to make them a little less formal. I told myself over and over: "I will not distress this card, I will not distress this card!" LOL

Love the boldness of the black against the soft cantaloupe colors. Now are those Stella-pens working out?
I also love the bold black against the crisp soft cantaloupe color. The scallop tag top is so sweet. Great work again, Cathy.
