DD #3: STAMPIN' UP!'S BUTTON BUDDIES

It's time for another  Dynamic Duos challenge; on one hand, the weeks are flying by, but on the other it seems a long wait for each new challenge once I've made a card!

Week three is called "Black Tie" where we use one colour plus black AND we also have a Dessert option. This week's dessert option is DRY EMBOSSING. 



The Daffodil Delight Framelits die cut on my card has been embossed with my Square Lattice embossing folder.  I've used my Simply Scored to create a bit of interest on the Basic Black layer, and I have had a bit of fun with a variety of border punches!  Although I'd originally planned to finish my card with a white satin bow, I decided a black one would be more fitting for the "Black Tie" challenge.


Stamps: Parlor Prints, Button Buddies, Curly Cute
Card: Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink: Versamark inkpad, Daffodil Delight stampin' pad
Other: Black embossing powder, Square Lattice embossing folder, Labels Collection Framelits dies, Eyelet border punch, Pinking Hearts border punch, Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch, Brights buttons, Neutrals button, Basic Black satin ribbon, Simply Scored scoring tool, sponge dauber, mini glue dots


I had a lot of fun making this card, and can't wait for next week's challenge already!
