So onto the card.
The card base is Basic Black with a mat of Very Vanilla. I wrapped some Rose red seam binding around the middle and tied a bow. Then stamped Congratulations from Occasional Quotes (a retired set) in Basic Black.
I punched out a scalloped circle in Basic Black with the 2 3/8" scallop circle punch and added a Basic Pearl to all the scallops. I punched a circle of very Vanilla with the 1 3/4" circle punch. Then using Frost White Shimmer Paint dabbed a pattern with some kitchen roll to make the faux Mother of Pearl. Once dry I stamped a heart from I {heart} hearts in Jet Back Stazon.
Here's a close up to show the faux mother of pearl -
On the inside I've layered some Very Vanilla on Rose Red card to tie in with the ribbon on the front. I've left it blank meantime until I decide why it's congratulations.
