Hello!
I am finally back home after spending two weeks with my folks in Massachusetts.
While there, I had signed up at a gym and had a couple of sessions with a trainer. At our first meeting she told me that she was going away for vacation the following week, and I told her that I was only there for another week. In order to get me started, she squeezed me in the next day before she was off for vacation. I thought it was really nice of her to do that, given I was from out of town and only visiting for a short time.
So I thought it would be nice to leave her a Thank You note. I made a card, and left it at the gym this morning before leaving town.
I inked up a white piece of card stock with distress inks (Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserve and Spiced Marmalade). Once it was dry, I gold embossed the doilies from Wplus9 Damask Doilies at the top third. and then stamped the sentiment in black.
Well, I didn’t like the way it looked, so I trimmed off a section from the top. I liked the cut off doilies much better than the whole ones. Finally, I matted the panel with shimmery gold vellum and popped it on the card base with foam tapes.
That’s it! Thanks for stopping by!
Your inking is flawless, so striking. Such a lovely gesture to leave a card!!
Oh how sweet of you! I never think of doing things like that … I’m sure it made her day. Definitely love the partial gold doilies, good call. A real stunning, bold, yet clean, card. Love it!
Well, what a gorgeous card – I am sure she loved it!
Such a posh and elegant look 🙂
This is such a gorgeous design! Love the warm colors.. so vibrant. The trimmed doilies worked out perfectly.
I saw it when the page came up and I said outloud to no one ‘Oh I like that!’ It is gorgeous love the colours together.
Such a lovely idea to do this, and what a stunning card!! Love the blended background and the touch of gold embossing, all against the black makes for something quite dramatic and very gorgeous!!
Your card has such a visual impact! The colors are amazing and really pop out from the black background. The golden touch is just perfect.
Wow, that card looks so hot I think I got sunburn!! Such intense colour – absolutely stunning Tasnim.

lovely…!
I have no idea how you get the blending to be so perfect and flawless
Don’t you love it when an idea comes to mind to “save” an idea gone awry? This is absolutely gorgeous and so nice of you.
