Made for Create with Connie & Mary Challenge #438: http://www.createwithconnieandmary.com/ that required the use of Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party and Silver or Smoky Slate colors.
It felt great getting away from Christmas holiday colors, and my birthday card stash had been growing slim with nearly two months of holiday card making.
I used the Modern Mosaic stamp set with Versamark ink to create the focal point elements of this card. They were carefully placed above center of the card front that had been dry embossed with the Modern Mosaic embossing folder.
The sentiment strip was a bit tricky. I knew what colors I wanted to use, just had to fuss with it a bit to get it looking like I wanted. A thin strip of Silver Glimmer Paper was layered over a Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punched strip with just the lower row of dots showing. The "matting" for the sentiment was cut with the label thinlit from the Circle Card Thinlit Die set. The sentiment was from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamped on a Modern Label punched piece.
The Mosaic punched elements were attached with Foam Adhesive Strips, as was the sentiment assemblage.
The main panel was matted with a wide piece of Flirty Flamingo onto a Pool Party card base.
The most difficult part of this card was getting the right width of the dry embossed piece so that it would accomodate three Mosaic punched pieces where I wanted them.
The required Silver color was achieved with the rhinestone embellishments and the strip of Glimmer Paper.
I think it makes for a nice ladies' birthday card, and look forward to sending it to my sister-in-law later this year!

Lovely! I really like how you used the silver very minimally, although it totally stands out because of the shimmer! Thanks for playing along with us at Create with Connie and Mary!
