Hi there again! Today's card is for three challenges - the color challenge at Dynamic Duos, the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches, and the birthday challenge at SUO Challenges. A friend at work is having a birthday next week and this is one of a set of four I will make for her as a gift.
This card should be called the showcase of retired Stampin' Up products LOL!! The sentiment is Engraved Greetings and is perfect for a buttoned-up, masculine birthday card. It was heat embossed on Very Vanilla, then closely layered on Pool Party and Basic Black card stock for a "beveled" look.
You can't tell from the photo, but the cross piece is Textured Basic Black paper, to give the card a bit more of a sophisticated look. The sketch shows the front panel on top of the cross piece, but I found it looked better tucked behind for this card.
Here are the links to the challenges:
I so appreciate you dropping by to take a look and would love to hear from you if you have a moment to leave a comment.
Until next time!
Hugs,
Stef
