Hello my friends!
Today I have a card for the new challenge over on The Sisterhood of Crafters!
Our theme, chosen by Vicki R. this time around, is:
GOLDEN DAYS OF FALL
(Use GOLD on your projects)
I began today's card by creating this fall colored background by
sponging various yellow, gold, red TH distress inks onto a white card stock
panel. Next I stamped my OLD SU (circa 2007) stamps using Versamark
and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder then heat set.
My gold 4x6 panel was too small to mat the entire fall panel so I cut
a portion off and simply put it behind the top part of my panel.
I used another gold 4x6 to create my sentiment panel which was die cut using
the Sue Wilson - Australian Collection - Background Die.
Obviously I only used the inside small dies. But what a fabulous
die set ... so many options!

Gold is gorgeous, especially when it's used for cards like this! I love the embossing, and the genius way you used that too-small piece of gold card behind the image panel! NJ!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Darlene! Love your sponging to make such wonderful autumn colors. Your sentiment frame is really pretty in gold! I always love seeing SU stamps that were before my time with them. So pretty - glad you still use it. Have a great rest of your week!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning Dar! The gold coloring and embossing gives this such a warm, rich texture. What a great challenge this is!! I can just imagine the beautiful designs we're about to see.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Darlene! Love the inked background with the gold embossed foliage. I love gold with fall colors!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Darlene, I love the background and gorgeous gold embossed leaves, so beautiful..
