I used mostly black and gold with touches of green on the leaves. I machine stitched around the edges with a golden thread and heat set the sentiment using gold EP. I also used a gold gel pen to color in a few details.

I have never tought that black and white might be so feminine. Instead your combination of stripes, oval, gold and green, got a very feminine look, a bit vintage too with that particular stamp! And surely your personal watermark- the machine stitching- adds another lovely touch! Well done!
Very classy, elegant card Pia, love that stamp xx
Whoa! Gorgeous card, Pia! Love the colors and image. Your card really does the color challenge fantastically! I have never seen this stamp image before. It's beautiful, and the faint colors bring the artistry out extremely well! Hugs, de

Very dramatic color combo and I love your use of your old stash, I also try to dig out my more older stamps and play with them every now and then. If I don't see m to like them I sell them in a fb group and buy new ones. ;) I just went through my old blog and there's many many stamps there that I don't own anymore -but when I look at the cards I know I would not use them anymore so that's fine! :)
WOW Pia, what a stunning card! I love that image and your beautiful gold stitching, perfect striped dp too!
