Saturday Sketch Challenge 205

Good Evening Friends,

Today is the day I'm on my way home from Alaska. We'll be spending some time in Seattle today and are hopefully having dinner at the space needle right about now! :D I'll be home and in the office tomorrow morning (after a red eye back to Boston). I'm sure that I'll have lots to share with you!

This week's card is a birthday card I made for my good friend Bonnie M. Bonnie LOVES black, but she also likes a splash of color... So for this one I went all monochromatic, except for the very bright focal point. Isn't this fun? So often when I make a card, I like to make it personal. Meaning...This is SO Bonnie! :D Bright and beautiful! :D So how about some measurements?

Base: whisper white 11 x 4 1/4", scored and folded in half at 5 1/2"
Layer 2: Black 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Layer 3: Basic Grey 5 x 3 3/4" (on this layer I used the vintage wallpaper embossing folder)
Layer 4: 5 x 2 1/2", then I used the scallop border punch
Layer 5: 5 x 2", black polka dot DSP
Layer 6: white satin ribbon 5/8" (about 6 1/2")
Layers 7: For the black rectangles on either side 1 3/8" x 1 5/8"
Layers 8: the black writing DSP rectangles are 1 1/4" x 1 1/2"
Layer 9: (Focal point) melon mambo cardstock 3 3/8" x 1 13/16"
Layer 10: Whisper white 3 1/4" x 1 11/16"
The paper banner was made from scraps, as well as the focal point flower. I cut that out and popped it up on dimensionals.

Do you think this card will make Bonnie know how special she is? I hope so! I'm back this week, so I'll be posting! :D
