Birthday in silver & ribbon - The Joy of SetsTic Tac Toe Challenge

Every month the team at The Joy of Sets Facebook Group has a challenge. For January, the challenge with the Joy of Sets is a Tic Tac Toe one #JOSTTT001




I chose to do the silver, birthday, ribbon

To make this card, I used the silver blank cards with coordinating envelopes which were offered in the Christmas catalogue, along with the current SAB stamp "Lovely Lace".


After embossing the image with silver embossing powder on a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock, it was coloured  with Stampin' Blends.   3 different colours (Lovely Lipstick, Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight)were used  for the flowers - Old Olive for the leaves. The lace was coloured in a light smokey slate.

The new stitched rectangular framelits were used to die cut the image, die cutting it twice to make the image square.  After matting this piece  with silver foil card stock, I added some 3/8" white silver edged ribbon along the left edge and a double bow at the top.



Dimensionals were used to add the art piece to the card front.

The "Happy Birthday" sentiment, from "Cake Soiree" was also silver embossed before being die cut and mounted on silver foil.  Dimensionals were also used to add it to the card front at the bottom.



On the left lower corner, I added 3 silver foil flowers punched with the retired Petite Flower punch.  After shaping them a tiny pearl was added to each center and they were adhered to the card using glue dots.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Cake Soiree, Lovely Lattice
Inks:  Versa Mark, Stampin' Blends (Light and dark Lovely Lipstick, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Smokey Slate)
Papers:  Whisper White, Silver Foil, A2 silver edged foil card and coordinating envelope
Accessories:  3/8" white silver edged ribbon, pearls, Silver embossing powder, dimensionals.
