Ready for another sneak peek?  

I created my own black and white striped background paper and used the Floral Essence stamp set.  These blooms do not have dies to cut them out but they are not very intricate so they are easy to cut by hand.  The leaves were punched out using the Perennial Essence Flower punch.  Isn't it great that they can be used for leaves too?

I made my own black glimmer paper by mixing Dazzling Diamonds glitter and Clear embossing powder and embossing it on black card stock.  In the upcoming catalog there is a new embossing powder called Shimmer Black.  I cannot wait to see if will create the same effect.
