I know when you saw this you probably thought you were in the wrong place somehow as this is not my usual type of card. I did enjoy making it though and tried to keep all the colors neutral along with the black. I completed the entire card and thought it looked ok and then when I took a photo of it realized it just had to have that bow at the top. I sponged around the image with some Antique Linen and around the DP panels very lightly in black. I didn't have any pearls to match any of this, so I colored them with Copics. The beige ribbon is also from my stash.
Be sure and head on over to Tuesday Throwdown and submit your entry for the Neutral colors challenge.
Thanks for stopping by..........

Lynn, this is beautiful! I love the subdued colors and your focal image really pops against them. I was just helping my DH get ready for his upcoming trip to Japan when I came across this stunner. What a coincidence!
So neutral and yet so striking, Lynn. Infact it is STUNNING! Nice to see a card that is not you...
Love that organza ribbon - such SHEER elegance. Sponging looks great so does the DP.
