Dancing Figures: were cut on my Silhouette. I cut one in turquoise and one in black and offset them to give a bit of a shadow effect. Then I added them with foam tape for extra dimension.
Greeting Focal: Starting with a piece of glossy white cardstock, I colored it with Broken China Distress ink from an ink pad to get a coordinating color. I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark ink using stamps from JustRite's Grand Sentiments set & heat embossed it with black powder. I framed this with a beautiful turquoise mirror Dazzle (HOTP) and then hand cut around it to leave a bit of the colored cardstock as a mat. Next, I made a bit of a mat effect using black die cuts and punched pieces. I cut several pieces using Spellbinders Persian Motifs and Accents dies and arranged them as you see. Alone they didn't frame the focal as well as I wanted at the top and bottom so I added a bit from a punched strip (EK Success Medallion Chain)
"Ribbon" Strip: I found a turquoise border piece in my stash and stamped the word "Dance" in black several times. This time the stamp was one I made myself using my Teresa Collins Stampmaker.
Decorative Strip: The decorative strip in the upper left corner started with another piece of the mirrored turquoise Dazzle. I put this on a piece of black paper and cut around it to create a bit of a border. I added a few flower-shaped gems from my stash before adding it to the card.
