Had a crafty day yesterday so here is my card.....
The background panel has been done with charcoal
and water to get the gradient effect.
I then stamped the morning glory flower with black archival ink.
The white flower was painted with heavy white gesso.
I hand embellished with a black pen and a little liquid chrome.
I stamped and embossed the circles, the edge of the card
and the die cut Hugs with liquid platinum embossing powder.
Finally I die cut the front panel with a crazy double running stitch rectangle.
The flower stamp, the hugs die and the circle stamps have never been used before
so I will be linking this card to Darnell's NBUS challenge.
This time without the optional theme..
I enjoyed making this card and had fun with the charcoal and gesso.
Hope your day has been a good one?

Great card! I really like to enjoy in gray and silver, it is always such elegant. I like that some circles are hiding under the center panel, and some also appear on it. Thank you for sharing this card.
