Congrats in Pink

8/09/2017 Update: Top Three Award winner at Atlantic Hearts Sketch

Challenge #223.

My card is the result of combining several challenge requirements. The pink background was created by clear embossing with flowers, then sponging with Oxide Distress ink and buffing with a tissue. The white vellum rectangle was die cut and adhered. The black ribbon was adhered and placed under the vellum. The floral silhouette was die cut. The die has two flowers but I removed one and adhered it to the inside of the card. The sentiment was die cut six times then stacked and adhered.

The panel was edged with strips of black cardstock and adhered to a white card base. Nuvo Glitter Drops were added to the front of the card and the inside. This is the first time using them - I need to practice making the dots.
