I was catching up on some challenges yesterday and came across the sketch set on A spoonful of Sugar and as I needed to make a card for a lady I clean house for, I thought I would combine the two. I used the gorgeous Card Creations Art Deco CD for this one and printed out a complete page of cameo toppers and layered them up to give the pyramage effect. The ribbon is from the Card Creations Strictly Card Dancers CD. The swirls on the black card were made by putting the piece of card through the cuttlebug, going over the raised area's with versamark ink on a brayer then embossing with stardust embossing powder and heat embossing. Then I actually, for the first time ever, used my cuttlebug to die cut the 2 flowers (LOL) and added some black diamond stickles into the centre (although this doesn't show up very well).
