"Toppings" option this time is...
"Black and White"
I've been following several card artists, enjoying the blog hops, enjoying the creativity but haven't yet put myself out and entered one of the challenges. I happened upon the Seize The Birthday Challenge and decided it was time to throw caution to the wind and give it a shot.
So here is my card. I started with the Tea Together (148779) Cling stamp set from the 2019 Occasions Catalog. I stamped using the Classic Black Stampin' Pad onto one of the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Papers that you can get FREE with a $50 purchase.
Next I stamped the teapot in Versa Mark ink onto Black card stock and heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. Both images were fussy cut to achieve all the pieces. I stamped the flower on White card stock with Versa Mark ink and used black embossing powder, then fussy cut all of the tea pot pieces and the flower. I used Wink of Stella on the flower for some "pop" then adhered all of the black pieces to the tea pot. The sentiment was stamped using the Endless Birthday Wishes (140273) stamp set, die cut with the smallest oval die from the Stitched Shapes Framelits (145372); the black mat was die cut using one of the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies (141706).

I used the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (148551) to cut the white background then I cut a section from the Beautifully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper packet, using the white side. The Laser Cut was adhered to the white rectangle with Tombow Multi-Medium glue. The flower was popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals onto the teapot.; the teapot was popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals onto the background. Next I adhered a piece of shiny Black Ribbon to the background and adhered that to a piece of Black card stock, cut 8-1/2" x 5-1/2, folded in half. The sentiment piece was adhered to the scalloped mat, popped up with Stampin Dimensionals and adhered over the top of some black twine that had been wrapped & adhered with glue dots. A sweet little tied bow finished off the card along with a few placed tiny clear Rhinestones. I'm realy please with the final results, what do you think?.
