This is the card I have selected from Anne's gallery for this challenge.

For this card I stamped the collage image from Great Impressions on the back of my BG paper from Bo-Bunny's Midnight Diamonds. I colored part of the image in Burgandy with a Tombow marker to give a contrast color. Then mounted the image on burgandy then black cs. I used the main side of the DP for the background of my card. Tied a black ribbon across the top portion of the card, then mounted the stamped image to the left of the card. On the bottom right portion of the card I added some Prima flowers in deep red and pink and attached it to the card with a black brad. Added some fern leaves around the flower which I punch in black cs. Just wanted to keep the colors on this card with White, black and deep red (burgandy). The background paper was again mounted on burgandy and then the black cs base of the card.

This was then mounted on top of the oragne dp from the Cupcake paper pad of BasicGrey. Then cut 4 pieces of the striped dp (Cupcake paper pad) at the diagonal and matted it with black cs. Cut out the blue and green layers and also matted on black cs. Placed the different pieces and layers together. Stamped Special from the Mini Memories stamp set of Crafty Secrets, all around the blue layer and added dots with various Souffle pens on the black cs.
