Ooooo the power of masking tape, I started the card by masking off a strip along the top and the bottom of a piece of card then using teal ink and a sponge I blended the ink into the centre of the card, using the same ink I stamped the flourish from the silent night stamp set (Papertrey Ink) and stamped around the edges of the blended centre. After removing the masking tape I embossed both top and bottom of the card with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots A2 embossing folder.
I stamped a sentiment from Stampin Up and used the circle punch to cut it out.
After that a bit of matting a layering and a ribbon and a couple of charms were added.
If you would like to have this card then please leave me a comment and I'll do a draw for it.

How incredible clever to mask and basically create your own DP! I love it; and to go back and emboss the white areas is simply brilliant! Gorgeous card.
This is such an elegant card, Jak and using the masking tape leaves such a clean, crisp edge-instant backing paper! Just lovely.
