For my card, I was inspired by the stainless steel silverware in the challenge. I have been working through a stack of paper pads this year, and this silverware print was already in my pile of papers to use up. It was the perfect match for this theme. I trimmed the panels, mounted the top layers on black for crisp definition, and centered a Thinking of You sentiment across the three sections.
To finish the design, I layered everything over a black and white gingham background and added dimensionals behind the sentiment for a bit of lift.
Thank you for stopping by to see my card today. Your thoughtful comments are always appreciated. If you leave a note, a visit to your blog will follow.
A lovely balanced design using some lovely papers in soft muted tones, the black borders bring it all together beautifully.

I'm thinking reading your blog you have quite a pile of papers to use up, some pretty ones here which all compliment each other with the underlying grey tones.
