I just love working with MayArts Silk ribbon and when I saw The Shabby Tea Room 051 color challenge (red, white, black with a hint of chartreuse Classic Elegance) I envisioned big bow and pearls. JustRite's challenge 050 this time is birthday or spring. SoooooooI wondered if I could create a card to combine the two. Starting with layers of white and black cardstock, I then embossed a top white layer. I made a pearl accent to put in the center of the large red bow using a "ribbon slide". Using JustRite's Happy Birthday to You (I masked off the 'to you' part) from the 10 Designer Centers and Borders collection; I stamped it on a white oval paper that I'd edged with black ink. Now how did the Happy Birthday get shiny? After stamping it with red, I rewrote the words with a thin line of white, dries clear glue! I lastly edged some paper flowers with black and dropped a seed pearl in the center. With a matching envelope...if it is your birthday...this card is for you!
