Having tried an all white card this week ,I turned to a gold one .I tried to 'colour' it with texture rather than colours .
I began by dry embossing some foil to cover the main card .The background border was a Cricut one from Paper Lace cartridge which I coloured gold with gilding wax . Another matte gold card was embossed for the main mat . I had some gold ribbon in my stash with tiny gold stars on it so this added another ' colour '. The stamp is a wreath from Penny Black which I stamped and embossed in gold .I then added black liquid pearls and stickles and a bow .The stamp is mounted in a die cut from Sue Wilson's Italian Collection which I edged with gold gilding wax .
A peel off sentiment and lines completed the card.
I would like to enter this card into

This is such an elegant card, Jenny. There are so many elements combining to give added interest and depth - I love it.

What a fabulous, classic, card! Almost Deco or 50's fashion glam, but so simple, too. The layering of the different textured/patterned paper then beautiful, simple wreath stamp....it's just so rich looking. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a simple, yet stunningly luxe card! I love the gold on gold texturized pieces, and the simple wreath stamp. It's just love it!
