Good morning and Happy Friday! What a great week, I'm so excited for the start of February which is Aidan's birthday month and I'm a strong believer in celebrating your birthday for the entire month so we're all about birthday's this month. In honor of birthday's I have a fun birthday card for this weeks Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch challenge. There are lots of fabulous metallic products in the Occasion catalog so I decided to focus on lots of gold today. The cardbase is Whisper White and I added a layer of Basic Black that's embossed with the Big Shot and the Flower Garden Textured Embossing Folder. Next I added a piece of Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum (I backed it with a piece of Whisper White cardstock so it really pops).
The greeting is from the Just Saying stamp set and it was Heat Embossed with Basic Black Embossing Powder and the Heat Tool before cutting it out with the Big Shot and the Word Bubble Framelits. Next I cut a piece of Gold Foil Cardstock with the Chalk Talk Framelits to get the shape and then embossed it with the Perfect Polka Dot Textured Embossing Folder. A piece of Gold Baker's Twine is the perfect final elegant touch.
What to you think of all this bling? I love what an elegant touch this adds along with the black and I'll definitely be using this on other projects. Make sure to check out all the other cards from the Sketch Frenzy Design Team and we would love for you to play along with us!
Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!
