A card for Erica

Happy Friday!! If you've taken today off to make cards for National card making day, I so envy you. I'm at work today, but will definitely work on some cards when I get home.
Today I wanted to share the other birthday card I made for my friend at work. She loves black & gray, polka dots and stripes so I made her a card using similar elements. This is also the third card where I used Kim Yu's fantastic layout. I'm really hooked on it. lol.
To add a little color I used fuschia in the elements of the flower, button and bling. The image I chose is from TGF's Miss Anya Love series. She's sassy and stylish and really cool. I was having issues with the black floss on this card. I ended up cutting it off and changed it up a bit. Not sure which one I like better. I was digging the black, except for the bow. I changed it up to a white ribbon then sparingly colored with a black Copic marker and twisted it, then glue-dotted the button on top. It turned out ok, but I still liked the black floss more. Here is Erica sporting her Kobari Beef t-shirt. She was very happy with the card, which was a relief since I was worried about the ribbon.
I hope you all have a wonderful Friday and get to make cards today. Mahalo for stopping by and if you get a chance go to a Panda Express near you and try a sample of the new Kobari Beef. It's smoky, sweet & a little bit spicy. :)

Love the cards that you've been making with that layout. I may have to try it out! I really like the black/pink combo. I think either ribbon would have worked...the black made the card bolder while the white softened it. Enjoy your weekend!
