I started this card by machine stitching a black-threaded, straight-stitch frame around the outside edges of a piece of black, polka dot, patterned paper, just before adhering it to the Crumb Cake, cardstock, card face. I, then, adhered a punched, across its bottom edge, strip of olive, text, patterned paper, just below horizontal center, over both, existing layers, before piecing together the martini glass from hand-cut vellum, which had been pierced with an embellished, stick pin, and Basic Gray cardstock.
A crinkled, white, seam binding ribbon was, then, wrapped, around the card face, just above the punched, patterned paper...and anchored in a dressy bow, embellished with a black, Vintage-Style button, laced with Baker's Twine, and a Cricut-cut, from Very Vanilla cardstock, distressed, with Tea Dye and Antique Linen inks, and stamped, in Basic Gray ink, "HAPPY NEW YEAR" sentiment.
This card was inspired by ColourQ's Challenge #65...
and Waltzingmouse's Sketch Challenge #28.
