Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for a friend's birthday next week.
Mary has silver hair and almost always wears black and white, so when I saw this color challenge, I knew it was perfect for her Christmas Eve Eve birthday!
This Silver Foil Vellum has been in my stash for years and I hadn't even opened it yet! It's the perfect background for the ornate die cuts. I can't believe how shiny that silver foil is - it's like a mirror!
Because I created a mini slimline card, I had to make a custom envelope. I found this old Neutrals patterned paper that has a silver sheen to it and it was striped on one side, so it matches the card! Since I'd already decided that this card would be hand-delivered, I figured I might as well go all out and use the really big clear epoxy droplets. I'd never be able to put those through the mail!
This card was inspired by the color challenge at The Paper Players and the sketch challenge at TGIF Challenges.
I hope Mary likes this card - I think it's classy, just like her! :)
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
