CD Sunday - Pearls and Swirls

I really did enjoy the making of this parchment card for this challenge.  As  I am still laid up  I am so glad that I made it when I did.
I found this lovely black and white frame on a CD  called 'Clip Art' -  produced and sold by Patsy May.  I printed it out onto an A4 sheet of 140gsm parchment placing it so that it was in the correct place when folded to A5. I embossed all the white areas to a bright white and then cut out and applied a black card swirl using my new Grand Calibur.   Black and yellow pearls, a parchment butterfly and a gold traced greeting are the only additions.  The insert paper is yellow parchment.  Then the whole is lined with white card  to give the card strength.
I am sorry that I am still not able  to write comments on your blogs but I am viewing and admiring.

    Hi Carol

    Beautiful card, love the way you have put it together.

    I hope you arm is less painful, and you will be back to normal soon

    Your card is stunning Carol. I have a 'thing' about swirls/flourishes. The die cut you've used looks like one I have.

    Carol this is stunning, it is so dramatic with the black frame but pretty too.

    Hope the arm is settling now and you are starting to feel more comfortable.

    Hi Carol, I hope at least you have a lot less pain by now and are resting. I love this card, very pretty. Patsy May is a friend of mine, I'll ask her to take a peek at your blog. Caz

    When I saw your card on the CD Sunday blog I was wondering how you made such a stunning card with a broken arm! Then I read that you made it earlier! Really beautiful Carol. Hope you are recovering well. Michelle x
