#1102 – Black Gold

No. Not oil. I mean the colors.

Hello and welcome! It’s time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and this time the Topping is chosen by Barbara to be ‘Masculine‘. If the topping is not your thing, just make a birthday related project to join!

And here’s what I made –

This card is basically a CASE of Yana Smakula’s card from here. I couldn’t resist the gold!! Ha ha ha!!

I used Lil Inker Designs Diamond Chevron on gold foil cardstock and adhered the negative pieces on black cardstock. To make the process easier, I had adhered double sided tape behind the gold cardstock before die cutting. So, I have the positive left over for another card. I also used another piece of plain cardstock that I had die cut to adhere the negative pieces – basically inlaying the pieces and finally removed the cardstock to get the my card base.

For the sentiment, I combined Altenew Modern Deco Alpha and Paper Trey Ink Wet Paint stamps and gold heat embossed them over black cardstock. I then used a die from Paper Smooches Fancy Frames to die cut this piece as well as another piece of gold foil cardstock and adhered them on the card base. And that finished my card!

And that finished my card! I’m joinin the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge where the theme is Anything Goes.

Checkout what the rest of my teammates and our guests have created at the Seize the Birthday challenge blog! Thank you so much for stopping by!

#1076 – Happy New Year!

Hello and welcome! This is my first post in this new year, and albeit a few days late, of course, I should start by wishing everyone a very happy new year!!

I made this card for my sister. I started with stamping the images from Altenew Scalloped Ornaments and Ornate Foliage stamp sets using Versamark sticky ink and heat embossed it using Champagne embossing powder. I then water colored them using Daniel Smith watercolors.

Once dry, I went to the sentiment. I combined different stamp sets to make this one. On a piece of scrap white cardbase to gold heat emboss and used Paper Smooches Winter Sampler, Altenew Tall Alpha and Modern Deco Alpha for stamping. I then trimmed the cardstock and added a couple of scrap pieces beneath for dimension and then adhered it on the card. I also added a couple of gold sequins for embellishment.
