All That Glitters is Gold

Metallics have made a comeback into the crafting world, which makes me a happy camper add I love the elegance gold and silver can add to a project. Virginia's View Challenge this month celebrates this return

I am all too eager to play along, such lovely inspiration too!

I started with a cream card base and layered mint, good polka dot paper on the bottom. Then a little lace strip to soften it follows by extremely glitzy gold, start filled glider tape. Good embossing on the sentiment, embossed vellum with gold and white add an ethereal elegance all finished of with some gold sequins.

Here is a close up:

Papertrey Ink's MIM #169: Vellum Overlays

When I saw this week's Make It Monday on Nichole Heady's blog, I let out a quick "Yaaaaay!!!" followed by a "Yippyyyyy!!". :) I have recently been on a "vellum kick" so I was excited to be able to play more with my new love that is this beautiful translucent paper. I just believe it adds such elegance and softness to a project like no other piece of paper can--truly magical! So here is one (surely to be one of many) project for this week's challenge... hope you enjoy it as much as I did in creating this card!

And until next time... Craft on!
