PAT 25 Silver Anniversary card. The challenge was to create a card with only silver on it and it was definitely a challenge for me.
The card is called "New Friend" because I kept singing "Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold" while I made these. It's a tribute to the friends I've made on SCS.
A lot went into this card so skip the rest if you don't care for the details.
- The BG is a dictionary page, covered with Silver gelato then stamped with bubble wrap in Versamark and embossed with Silver glitter embossing powder (the messiest substance on earth).
- Then I used some Silver ribbon salvaged from some long ago Christmas gift that I attached with Silver washi tape and Silver sulky thread in the sewing machine. Then I fringed the ribbon
- I attached the Silver frame with Silver staples.
- I added a Silver flower stem (Memory Box) cut from some awesome textural paper I bought just for the card.
- The Silver bird (Memory Box) was cut from an aluminum can and adhered with dimensional adhesive.
- I added a Silver flower brad and a Silver heart brad. Rounded the corners.
- Finally, I added a Silver grommet and ran four types of Silver fibers through the hole, embellishing them with Silver beads, Silver charms and Silver bells.
How many times did I type Silver? I lost count!
Thanks for looking.
