I'm back again with another card created for VC Stamp Challenges- A Black Tie Affair/ Elegant Colors and embellishments. What's more elegant than red and black? Maybe creams and whites, but I've got Valentine's on the brain now and I'm ready to put some of my ideas into action. I used the sketch from All Sorts and to complete their challenge I have used papers from my old stash. I accidentally fit in the Crazy for Challenges challenge too- polka dots. I wasn't trying to make a card for this just yet, but when I turned my paper over, I realized I had polka dots!

Here is my card:

You may have noticed my ornament topiary in my last post about my window wreaths. That was another project that was on my list last year. I was inspired by these at BHG because they were in my color scheme. I set out to make one this year. I didn't follow the directions at BHG. Instead, I did a little more searching and then just did it my way. Most people suggest painting your stryofoam ball in a complimentary color first. I skipped this step because I was in a hurry, but I do recommend you do that. I used a 4 in styrofoam ball, 3 different size ornaments and a glitter pick. I also used a dowel rod which I covered in washi tape and a planter from the dollar tree. My planter was originally bronze, but with a few coats of spray paint it became silver. You also need some foam for the planter and something to cover it with. I used moss and blue glass pebbles. The pebbles give the bottom some weight. I think this makes a much better centerpiece for this ar
