Black & Gold Floral Birthday

 

 Hello fellow crafters! I received a request for a 45th birthday card and the favorite colors of the recipient were black and gold. Here is the end result.

I began by creating the flowers using a Heartfelt Creations die with which I cut 4 floral images and then layered them to create 2 flowers, one large and one small.  These were cut in black card stock and then embossed with gold EP. The swirls were die cut in gold mirror card stock using Marianne Creatables dies. The sentiment was computer generated on white card stock and then die cut using an oval Hero Arts die. The "45" which was die cut in gold mirror card stock using a Paper Rose die was added to the sentiment. The prepared sentiment was then adhered to a Spellbinders oval die which was die cut in gold mirror card stock.Having created all the images and the sentiment, these were adhered to a black card stock panel and matted with gold mirror card stock and then adhered to a white base card. This completed my project.
