Fabulous You for Bilma’s birthday

This is the last card that I made at the weekend crop last month; I was saving it to show on Bilma’s birthday rather than before. It’s using the retired Stampin’ Up! Fabulous You set which I borrowed from Mitzi whilst at the crop. Bilma is very much into shoes so it seems appropriate for her birthday.

As usual where metallics are concerned, it’s not a great photograph; the card looks better in person – the blackberry bliss is a much richer colour than it appears here. I really struggle to get a good shot of metallic embossing.

Details of the card

After using the embossing buddy, I stamped the shoe in versamark and then used the heat tool after sprinkling on the gold embossing powder. I reapplied the embossing buddy and then followed the same process with the sentiment from the Sassy Salutations set. I finished off the card by using the envelope liner thinlits dies with the backgrounds DSP in blackberry bliss to line the envelope.

As I was typing this, I decided that the card needed something extra. A border. So I got out my Simply Scored and added a score line 3/8 inch from the edge. I think that the frame really enhances the card. Here’s how it looked previously.

Until tomorrow,
