The champagne was very good New Year's Eve and my DH saved the carton as he just knew that I'd find some way to use it on a card. And I did not disappoint him. I cut a section of the box and used below for this card featuring a black silhouette. I simply stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with a Black EP on the gold box. Colored some buttons with paint, added some brads and braid and assembled all on a black CS following the sketch below. The design in the box was great for this scene.
