Red and Gold

By
It's time for a new challenge over at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and this week it's a colour challenge

You are allowed to use BLACK and WHITE (or off-white) in addition to the red and gold. No green! :) Please have fun with this one!


For my metallic gold I chose to go with gold embossing powder and went very minimalist making my sentiment the main focal point - take a look


I found some gorgeous ribbon my my stash drawer which was a perfect match for the Cherry Cobbler card stock I'd used so I used it to wrap around my card and add a large bow.

Materials - Stampin' Up
Stamps: Delightful Dozen, Summer Silhouettes
Ink: Versamark
Card Stock: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler
Accessories: Scallop Trim Border Punch, Big Shot, Apothecary Accents, Gold Embossing Powder

So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
