It's no secret how much I love Embossing Folders. They just make everything look so elegant and there is relatively no effort involved. You just put the cardstock between the folder and run it through the Big Shot…and then…voilá! Today, I used Midnight Blue Craft Metal from Add a Little Dazzle. It looked good with the embossing but just needed "a little something" so I used a Krylon Silver Metallic Pen to just highlight some of the stripes.
The Challenge at the Dazzling Divas Design Challenge (Inspiration Photo is Below) was to use Vellum with Craft Metal so I used Stampin' Up!'s Silver Specialty Vellum and Banner Framelits to add a little banner. The White Satin Ribbon was tied using the "How to Tie a Double Bow Using Your Fingers Technique." (You can see the Video HERE.) The little "Celebrate" circle is from Starburst Sayings and was embossed with Silver Embossing Powder and cut with the Starburst Framelits. I layered that onto a Silver Foil Circle and popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Such an elegant card! Love those background stripes too.
