I missed a Ladies' Night dinner/dance this month as we were on holiday, so I made a card for each of the Chairmen to wish them good luck with their speeches. I made two similar CAS cards, one feminine and one masculine, just changing the colours.
I used a Tonic 'Ladies Night' die, which I bought a few years ago for 50p in craft shop sale - one of my bargain buys. 😊 I used the same purple card for the mat. I layered the die cut on a white, pearlised, pre-embossed square of card. Three purple pearls finished off my card, which look a darker shade IRL.
Here is a close up of the embossing, which looks especially beautiful when the light catches it.
For the masculine version, I just used black instead of purple. The embossing is quite subtle, so I thought it would look fine for a masculine card.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card.
That die was a great buy Liz two beautiful CAS cards

Hi Liz, two very elegant cards there - love the embossed detail - sounds like you got a brilliant bargain with the die!
ReplyDeleteBeen catching up on your previous makes as well, it's half-term here and, as always, life got in the way of crafting, some gorgeous cards there. Really like the lady in the vintage swimming costume - the sentiment you paired with it made me laugh!

ReplyDeleteThe men need to be there to spoil the ladies - and very smart they always look too in their dinner jackets. LOL! xx
DeleteThese are both fabulous Liz! I bet they look amazing in person, loving that subtle embossing. Now I have that song going around in my head. lol It's a good song. So what is a ladies night? Sounds like more than just a night out with the ladies since you said about speeches. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteOur Ladies' Night is an annual dinner/dance, usually in a hotel. The ladies dress up in their best dresses and the men wear their dinner jackets. After a delicious meal, the two Chairmen both make an entertaining speech and then the music and dancing commences. There is always a theme connected to the male chairman and this year it was 'rugby'. It's always a fun evening. Here is a link to some of the photos taken this year. http://downend-tangent.blogspot.com/2021/10/41-club-ladies-night-2nd-october-2021.html
