Card Sale: Come by and check out my card sale tomorrow. Her are a few of the cards available.
It’s Friday and almost the weekend. I am looking forward to it. I went a little gold crazy on my project today. I wanted to make a romantic card using my new Love Set from Rubbernecker. I wanted the heart and wispy floral flourishes to be elegant and gold embossing seemed the perfect thing.
As much as I love gold embossing it is not easy to photograph. The card is so much prettier in person. I started by stamping the image and embossing and then die cut with an oval Nestabilities. I die cut the scalloped layer and stamped versa directly on the cardstock and embossed with gold. I repeated the same technique on the gold base layer and on a scrap piece of cardstock to use for my punched flowers.
The image is so pretty on it’s own but I wanted to add flowers for dimension and elegance. One single layer of gold embossed flower was perfect. No need for additional layers. I put dots of gold stickles in the center of each flower for the final touch.
The white base layer was cut with decorative corner scissors and popped up with mounting tape. The scalloped layer was popped up with another layer of mounting tape which adds interest and dimension to the card.
Have a great weekend and take time to do something good for yourself. Thanks for stopping by.

Nice to see gold being used again, Kittie. It’s a colour that I have personally gone away from but having seen your card, I think I might have to get my ‘golds’ back out and put them to use again. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you for all the beautiful cards this past week. I have you have a wonderful weekend. I really like the gold!!
I am always amazed at your flowers, Kittie! They are so beautiful and put a smile on my face. Wish I lived near you so I could get some lessons on how to make them!
This is my first time to your blog. (I came from Linda at Paper Boutique) I have never seen anyone make such a beautiful use of punches. I am truly in awe. These are easily the most beautiful flowers I’ve seen. I couldn’t find a place to “follow” you but I am a new subscriber.
It is such a lovely card! The image is a great starting point for gold embossing. NancyD
What a beautiful gold themed card! It is great for any occasion but would make an exceptional 50th Golden Anniversary card. 🙂
Wow!
