Crafty Cardmakers Challenge 61 - Monochrome magic

The challenge this week at Crafty Cardmakers has been set by Beth, and is "Monochrome Magic"

For my card, I have chosen to use a digistamp from Digi Doodles called the Waltz, which has been coloured in using promarkers, and a background paper which has been made using the flitter glu from IndigoBlu and some silver gilding flakes with a Glitter girls floral flourish stamp.  
The card itself is an easel card, using black card as the base.  I cut the digi stamp out when coloured and mounted it onto black card, leaving a small edge around the image.  This was then mounted onto the top part of the easel. 
This is the card in the display position (black background)

The final touches were some pearls and a sentiment on the top (back) half of the easel and a stop plate that said Happy Birthday.  The flowers in the bottom left hand corner of the base of the card were punched from a tonic punch, and the centre beads were from my stash.  The ferny leaf was punched from silver paper using a Martha Stewart punch.
