When I saw the challenge this week of 'Black, Metallic and 1 other colour', I had a 'light bulb' moment and remembered I had seen
A bit of a change for me using black cardstock as the base and I was tempted to put it onto white card first but changed my mind.
The frame and the never before used die cut sentiment both cut from odd scraps of gold metallic card - it has a lovely sheen and is not quite so 'in your face' as mirri card.
Stamped onto bright white, popped it behind the frame and I simply had to add the 3 tiny gold pearls......!!!!

Viv, it's simply so elegant with the black base, that pretty gold frame and the lovely flower image. Likewise am loving the die sentiment. Hope your weather improved today, and will be more pleasant for the wkend. We had a bit warmer temps than yesterday, but still cold to us. At least we had happy sunshine, and no hail or white stuff. Hugs & TFS.
Adding the 3 pearls was inspirational. Hugs Mrs A.
