A dear friend of mine was awarded a B.E.M in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours List. Such a magnificent achievement deserved a card “fit for a Queen”.
The starting point: – what do you need when you meet the Queen? A new outfit!
The card was based on the idea of a new outfit. The hat was hand drawn and cut from blue card and then trimmed with white. The dress, shoes and handbag were cut from blue card using Sizzix originals dress & accessories (38-1198/65462). The stand was cut (using the same die) from Sizzix self adhesive card stock. Once all the pieces were cut, I added some shading with my lovely Copics. The greeting was computer generated. I also embossed a piece of white card (cut to size) using the Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing & Stamp set – flourish (658280). I swiped the embossing with a gold ink pad.
The recipient loved it (thank goodness).
