A Beautiful Flower



Come and Get It has another great challenge this week and the theme is black and white plus one.  Sami Stamps is the sponsor of this challenge and I have used an image called Beautiful Flower.  I love this simple flower.  It is so elegant.

I chose to use the colour gold to go with my black and white. I thought that it added to the elegance of the flower. The beautiful dies I used for the card are by Spellbinders.  To complete my card I edge part of the frame with a Gold Leaf pen and added some gold gems. 

Hope you will join us this week for this challenge.  Thank you for stopping by and have a very creative week.
