Freshly Made Sketches #560

FMS#560

Jen Mitchell's sketch design for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week was really timely as I'd been asked to design a "glitzy glam" black, white and gold milestone birthday card.

Here's My Card: 

I started with a Whisper White 5" x 10" card base scored at 5" and added a 4 7/8" x 4 7/8" layer of gold glimmer paper. Before adhering this glimmer paper I used the beautiful oval layering dies from the Fitting Florets collection to cut the large oval from the center. 

For the next layer I cut a 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 piece of paper from the Silver and Gold designer series papers (retired Sale-A-Bration paper).  Then I cut this into 2 pieces measuring 2" x 4 3/4" and 2 1/2" x 4 3/4".  These were adhered to the glimmer paper leaving a 1/4" gap between the two.  

I cut another oval frame from Whisper White card stock and used the center oval for my sentiment.  I stamped the "For a Special Person on a Special Day" sentiment from the Framed Florets stamp set, in Momento Black Ink.  This oval was attached to the center of the glimmer oval with dimensionals.  

I also stamped off five flowers using the small and larger floral stamp on a scrap of Whisper White.  these flowers were arranged around the left side of the oval and leaves and a floral sprig were die cut from Basic Black and added to the grouping.  To finish off the card front I added five of the Gold Adhesive Backed Swirls embellishments that came in the Framed Florets collection to the flower centers.  Love them!  

For the inside of the card I cut a 4 7/8" square of Whisper White and stamped it with one of the birthday sentiments from the Framed Florets stamp set. There was a 4 3/4" x 1 1/4" strip of the Silver and Gold dsp left over from the front cut, so I adhered that along the bottom of the mat.  Love it!  

For the first time ever Stampin' Up! has named the coordinating dies the same as the stamp set.  So, in this bundle you will get the Framed Florets stamp set and the Framed Florets Dies.  I'm super excited about that, as it makes finding your dies in your stash a whole lot easier.  Way to go Stampin' Up! 

 

I couldn't help editing this photo so I could see what the same card would look like in silver, white and black............... and yes it would be beautiful too! 

I hope you enjoyed this card.  It was simple, quick and easy to make.  

Happy Stamping!
