STAMPIN' UP! FRIENDSHIP CARD FOR PP508

 Here's this week's challenge at The Paper Players:

The challenge colours are all found in Stampin' Up!'s Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper, so, despite my initial efforts of trying to create without it, that's what I defaulted to!  I know in the US particularly, these colours are popular for Fall/Autumn creations, or perhaps even for Halloween.  In Australia we don't send cards or give gifts for changes of seasons, so Autumn is really not a "thing", other than for us to admire the beauty in nature.  Halloween also is not a widely celebrated/noted occasion.

I have gone for a somewhat dark, moody, look, on my friendship card for this challenge.  I have used (now retired) Black Foil Sheets in conjunction with the beautiful papers.  I didn't consciously use glitter and foil on my card, but as it turns out, I embossed the sentiment with (retired) Shimmer Black embossing powder, and added a Glittered Organdy Ribbon bow (as it is my only black ribbon).

The "accidental" glittery elements:

Thanks, Anne Marie, for stretching me outside my "colour comfort zone", with this challenge!  It was fun.
