Frangipani Embossed Foil 15th Birthday Female Card

The Finished Card I made for my Art student's 15th Birthday.  Her favourite Flowers are Frangipanis 

I experimented with the aluminium embossing foil and embossed two large Frangipanis with spirals and dots of different sizes.  I applied a variety of paints to the flowers, trialling which one looked more effective.  I love Cadence Art & Hobby Paints Dora as they are brilliant, shimmery and very creamy in consistency and you tend not to use very much as it goes a long way.  Very economical product!  I also applied Inka Gold paints, even though it gave a smooth, soft effect, I preferred the Cadence Paints for this card.

As the Painted Embossed Foil is the hero of the Front of the Card, I knew that any other adornment had to be simple yet complimentary. 

I'm loving the South African Celebr8 products, so I chose a Flower from one of their Chipboard panels (SKU: MB3604) to paint with Ken Oliver's Liquid Metals.  Amazingly sparkly metallic paint and a little goes a long way!

A bright, dark purple Satin and sheer Ribbon was laid across the bottom of the Black Frame and a Little Birdie Primed Chipboard Birthday Wishes sentiment was painted with Cadence Art & Hobby Paints Dora - Amethyst.  Two Yellow Pearl Sequins with CTMH Purple Glitter Gems as the centres completes the front of the card.

I always complete my cards with Interior sentiments and/or thematic decoration.  On the left side, I continued the purple and yellow colour scheme and Frangipani theme.
