I've created my card with a base of white cut with Romantic Rectangles Nestabilities and then cut layers of black and white with the corners trimmed with a corner rounder. The white layer has been embossed with the Valor M-Bossibilites folder. Around those two layers I've attached a wide piece of black ribbon and topped it with a thinner piece of white ribbon. The lighthouse is from Light of the World stamp set and has been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copic Markers (C1, C3, C5, C7) and cut out with Large Oval Nestabilities. The lighthouse was then framed with a mat of black cut with Lacey Oval Nestabilities and popped up on foam tape. To finish I've added a white bow made with my Bow Easy and a few Kaisercraft Silver Rhinestones.
