Wine with Friends Birthday

Hello, Blogging Lovelies! I so hope everyone is safe and happy.  
I have a slimline birthday card to share with you today. 
 
   
I chose Splitcoaststampers Sketch SC411 at the beginning when I wasn't sure about my stamps choices. As it turned out, I picked this Art Impressions set and then saw their latest challenge was Slimline. So, I resized the sketch to 4x9" to see and thought, ok, that works. Then got my heart set on using the Prima papers. So, I made it all work together. Wasn't certain I'd be happy with the results, but thankfully I am. I will use this card sketch again without stretching it all out of proportion because it has a good open space.
The card base is cut from some legal-sized Office Depot card stock. The papers are A4 Prima Georgia Blues collection. Papers were ink- and edge-distressed using a distressing tool and VersaMagic chalk ink. I added some of my mom's lace and a metallic-decorated satin ribbon to the vertical element. The AI, MFT and Avery Elle sentiments were all stamped with VersafineClair on white card colored with Promarkers and ink-distressed with VM chalk inks.
I stamped the ladies with VersafineClair Fallen Leaves, then colored with Promarkers and fussy cut. I added metallic glitter gel penning to the glasses and bottle. I added white gel pen highlighting to the bar stools.  The image is popped up with dimensional foam to help it navigate both the uneven surface and stand out from the very busy beautiful prints behind it. 
The ribbon going down the length of the card is really lace over ribbon. I show the two here unlayered.
 
The inside and back. MFT stamped sentiment inside. More Prima and a stamped Lawn Fawn siggie.
And a final view. Thanks for visiting and until next time, please stay crafty and healthy! XOX

    I love this. I love your style of cards. Thank you for your visit to my Camper van card.

    A lovely card, I do like the blue hue that the papers you used give to it.
    Yes, I purchased the Scrappy Tape from Scrapbook Pal. I never considered that the writing on the Scor Tape could be considered a measure because I just lay the tape down along the edge and then cut it.
    Hugs Monica
