Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today!
I am making a Sophisticated Soiree Birthday Card for my brother’s girlfriend – her favorite color is . . . yep, PURPLE!!
It’s an easy level card from the Anna Griffin Sophisticated Soiree cartridge, and is called “Chain Invitation.”
I was intrigued by its assembly – if you look at the above Design Space screenshot, you’ll see tabs on the dark purple section on the right side and across the bottom.
Hmm . . . the lattice design is an overlay that is not adhered directly to the base.
The cardstock I used is from Close To My Heart, and includes:
My Reflections Sarita (this is the patterned paper)
Eggplant
White Daisy
I embellished it with heidi swapp’s Amethyst color mist on the white layer and inside the envelope. I also used the Perfect Pearls mist on the inside of the card.
Um, yeah, mists hide a lot – I tend to get carried away with glue – AND they make your projects glimmer – WIN, WIN!!
In hindsight, I wish I would’ve put a shadow behind the words. After it was finished, I think the words blend in too much. Also, the “Bi” was separate and hard to line up and center on the card. I love the shadow effect the lattice makes on the front, though!
Here’s the inside of the card. The lattice design from the cards’ front is repeated in the cardstock pattern on the inside – Go Me!! Her favorite color is purple . . . and there’s A LOT of purple on this card!
Hey, if you’d like to see some of my other projects, check out my Instagram and Pinterest board, and I would LOVE it if you would follow me.
As always, I’m Livin’ the Moments . . .
