Reduation double challenge

In addition to my personal challenge to start using some of my unused TAC stamps, I'm conquering two challenges at once with this card. The first one is the Cuttlebug challenge to make a birthday party invitation using a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The second one is this week's sketch at CPS.

A reduation is a Red Hat Society event. A woman can only wear the red hat officially when she is 50 years old, before that she can be in the club, but wear a pink hat. On one's 50th birthday, one enjoys a reduation. My reduation was the best part of turning 50 for me, and I wish I had thought to make this card then.



The embossed part uses white core cardstock from DCWV, the white is revealed by sanding the surface after it has been embossed.
