It was part of a whisky advert that was bound into a glossy magazine and I fell in love with that glossy black-on-black flourish.
I've spent the morning humming the Habanera from Bizet's Carmen, which is probably what put me in mind of the passionate colour combination of red and black, so I used a paper, image and border from Debbi Moore's "Black & White Chic Boutique", with red as the only added colour.
Oh, and if you, too, feel like listening to the Habanera, you can find it on YouTube here.

A perfect piece of recycling and producing a perfect card, i love the image and the added bling really sets it off, Thanks for joining us at CD Sunday for our latest challenge.

A beautiful card Jane. I followed the link and was delighted to see Andre Rieu. He did though look very bemused whilst conducting and I am not surprised as she flirted with him. A perfect accompaniment to your card.

I'm a big André Rieu fan, Carol. This time last year I was heading to Maastricht on a coach to see one of his famous Vrijthof concerts - so far the only time I've seen him live. But we were so far from the stage we could hardly see a thing - and the huge screens around the square don't show everything. So I think I'm happier to settle down in front of the TV to watch him in the comfort of my home. Next time I see him I intend to be in a purpose built concert hall with proper tiered seating so I can see as well as hear!
Stunning card - the colours are striking and what a good job you kept that advert page, it goes perfectly and the red gems are the perfect finishing touch.

Hi Jane
Loving your re-cycling!!
Great finished card and fabby layout!
Love Jules xx
Fabulous card Jane. Love the red bling and that black card with the flourish was a great find.
I love Andre Rieu and have been very tempted to fly over for one of his concert. After reading about your experience I am not so sure now. I had always thought an outdoor venue would be more magical but you think indoor would be better. So I am going to think again on this one.....thanks for the info xx and thank you for sharing your fab card with us at CD Sunday Wynn DT x
