WOW this week has gone by fast! It was only this morning that I realized it was Friday. Having a lot of time off can make you lose track of time. I hope that you all have had a safe and Happy Holiday.
A friend of mine is celebrating her birthday on Sunday so I thought I would surprise her with a set of all occasion cards since she is a fan of my work. This is going to be the actual Birthday card. I haven't decided if I'm going to add a sentiment to the front. I just might leave that for the inside.
It's been a long time since I've done anything with Black and White which is why I chose these two neutrals. And, I've had the Silver Glass Glitter since it came out and decided it was about time to use it. Although I used it a little too much I still think it was a good first attempt.
The flower is from Field Flowers which was stamped with Memento Black 4 times on a piece of scrap, then cut into squares and added to each corner on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock. This was all ran through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. In the center, a strip of Basic Black Striped Grosgrain Ribbon was added.
The center flower and stem was all put together, including the black layer and sticky strip, prior to adding the glass glitter. I put a blob of Glossy Accents in the center of the flower and then sprinkled the Glitter all over it and let it dry overnight. Next time I try this I'll be a little less heavy handed with the Glossy Accents but still happy with the end result.
