I have been seeing cameos everywhere lately, so our Queen Bee herself, Mizz Betty, decided we would have a cameo & silhouette challenge this week at Betty Bee's Buzz. I found this lovely cameo by Blue Moon at Michael's. I knew this had to adorn an elegant card. My inspiration for the sketch came from two different cards in the Jan./Feb. 2011 issue of Paper Crafts magazine (pp.25 & 73); one of these is also at Moxie Fab World (Kim Kesti's card). I created my project for the The Appearance of Cameos Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.The white doily is by Martha Stewart and sent to me by the uber-talented Kay of Robin Egg Ribbon. (Thank you, Kay!) I have wanted to use these and this was the perfect opportunity, don't you think? Look how fabulously Kay used a doily here.
Other supplies:
black linen card stock; Bazzill card stock (gold folded & cameo oval layer); white card stock, stamped sentiment, and black lace (SU!); gold ribbon (stash); Spellbinder's Nestibilities ovals.

My husband bought me a beautiful cameo pin when we visited Italy, many years ago. Your card brings back the beautiful memories of our trip. Good job!
Cameos are so elegant, and you did it justice! Beautiful card.
OMG--I was reading Paper Crafts with a friend of mine and we both commented on the Cameo card. You did it justice, great job!
how pretty!! I love that the white scalloped oval picks up the white in the cameo and then it's echoed again in the doily! great job :)
