Technically it is not good for me to be sitting down bending over my desk so I decided to pass the time away by making a card which can take me all day as I do a little then get up and move about and go back to it later. Over the past few days the back has healed tremendously and I can feel my normal movement coming back, so much so that we intend heading off again mid next week but in a different direction.
So this card is following the sketch from Card Patterns #138 and I have drawn inspiration from the challenge over at Scrapbook Boutique - black and white.

Absolutely beautiful card. I love the dp. Anything with a Baroque/Damask/Jacobian style pattern looks so stylish. The liquid pearls give such a nice finish too.
