Instructions: Finished card is 5" X 7"

I used metallic black paper as the base. Cut the black/gold paper 4 3/4" X 6 3/4" and the brushed gold paper 5" X 7". Took the gold paper and placed in the bamboo embossing folder. Ran it thru the big shot machine. Took my craft knife and cut around the leaves leaving a little halo. I took this idea from the following blog http://donnamundinger-popsicletoes.blogspot.com/search/label/Cuttlebug?updated-max=2010-11-03T12%3A23%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=20.Took the largest label 13 and wiggle it inside of my cut lines then ran it thru the big shot. Cut it down 4 1/2"X 6 1/2" attached it to the black/gold paper. Then took the next size label 13 and made a window. Cut out an even smaller label 13 of the black/gold paper so it would fit in the window opening. Cut out lacey circle out of brushed gold to place on top of the black/gold. Stamped saying from JustRite Birthday Stamps using black tuxedo memento ink.

Colored embossed areas using Tuxedo smooch ink. Place peel offs as shown colored them using Green Apple smooch ink for the leaves. Used Gold Lame and Siren Smooch inks for the fan by blending the red into the yellow. I use the Pink and Moonlight for the flowers. Add Gold pearls where indicated.
