This my card for the challenge at http://artygirlzchallengeblog.blogspot.com/. I love the image I used for this card - there are some wonderful vintage bathing beauty images around, but I particularly like this one. In my opinion it has a real charm to it. The image also has it's own very striking border and elaborate black corner pieces, which I have embellished with self adhesive gems. It broke my heart using so many on one card, especially as there are 3 under the tag too -didn't decide on tag till after they were attached. I do think it was worth it in the end as it gives (in my opinion) a touch of opulance!
To mirror the blue of the frame on the image I used a rippled dark blue paper wrap around the card - having this wrap also meant that I was able to use my border punch to create an ornate border down the side of the card.

Wow this is fabulous.
Wonderful card. Love it.
Stunning Ann, I love everything about it. Image, colours, frame, gems the lot!
That was quick, I'll pop back in 20mins to see your first masque card shall I? Hehehe. I run mine through my cuttlebug to emboss it, it saves time and does a better job than me. I like this card, I especially like the corners - they're gorgeous.
