Hi bloggers! Gold and white for a simple card for many occasions. Think wedding or anniversary with a sentiment to suit your needs. I used the Lace Oval Frame Background by Justrite Stamps to create the focal element. I love it when a background stamp can be used in ways other than a background. I stamped this one twice with a Clear Perfect Medium ink pad on to coconut white card. I dusted it with pale gold mica powder for a soft, shimmery look. Using the Grand Oval dies, I cut each one into an oval frame, one small, one larger. I added mounting foam to both, with extra layers added to the smaller frame to raise it higher. I stamped my sentiment which was from the Mix And Match Sentiments designed by Becca Feeken for Justrite Stamps. I heat embossed it with gold powder and mounted my frames over it. I added two larger ovals cut from white card below it as a mat. I cut a larger piece of white card and embossed it with my Tapestry embossing folder and used it as a background for my card. I matted it on soft gold card and added a double bow tied from champagne coloured frilly edged ribbon. The bow was finished with a small pearl embellishment and two pearl stick pins. A final pearl swirl was added in the upper corner and a double white pierced mat finished the card. Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size.
Now for the winners of the two Christmas cards from Friday's post. The names drawn were:
Shirley Teretta!!! and Maid of Kent (Ann)!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and elegant gift to start the week.
Gold/White is the twin to Silver/White and such a classic combination.
I have never thought of using background stamps for anything other than that but certainly will now.
Thank you for another nudge re thinking out of the box. Looking forward to Friday and seeing you on our screens again. This will be the only time I can see you as I'm off to France for a few weeks and hoping the internet/laptop will co=operate for some of your other shows.

I love your beautiful bow to. Gorgeous card Sue. I cannot wait until Friday. Lots of love Tres x x x

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteMy goodness I did'nt realize it was so late. I meant to write a comment about 6.00pm,I'm making some birthday cards and got carried away. Also waiting for a phone call from my son as he is doing a road trip of America and he said he would call when he arrived at his next destination, which is Santa Barbara about 6.00pm American time.
Anyway enough waffle, your card today is so elegant and sophisticated, I love it. White and gold is a winning combo.
Kind regards :-)
