INK #280 - Gold

At Inkspirational we have the theme of GOLD and I actually got so inspired I made 3 cards! For all 3 cards I used a cocktail die set from Tim Holtz together with different gold colored papers and cardstock.

Please head over to the challenge blog to see the my INK-teamies have made. 

Card #1: Merry Christmas and cheers to the new year
It's hard to photograph cards with lots of shine, this card looks a bit darker in the photo than what it actually is. I used a Tim Holtz DP and decoupage paper in gold with red berriers on top. I heat embossed the Christmas sentiment and added glitter bubbles to the champagne glass.
This card is for:
Christmas Kickstart Challenge - #69

 

Card #2: 'Tis the season to be jolly - landscape layout
For this card I used a stencilled background with snow paste on kraft, it has a nice glittery effect. I used a torn strip of the red berry decoupage paper and added a sticker sentiment. Here I  clustered the glasses closes together, overlapping with the martini glass.
This card is for:
Fab n Funky - #562 Die Cuts or Embossing/No stamped image

 

Card #3: 'Tis the season to be jolly - portrait layout
Same theme but a different layout. And I changed the martini for a beer. The background is a green and gold decoupage paper.
This card is for:
Winter Wonderland - ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE

 

November Card Chain Challenge Reveal

Here's my card for The Card Chain Challenge November reveal. Anyone can enter and if you'd like to be part of the December chain you can sign up here until til 6th. 

 

THE CARD I SENT

The card was sent to Gundi in Germany. I was inspired by the sketch, the colors and the theme of friendship. I used a stamp set from Concord & 9th  and papers from Echo Park. These are actually Halloween themed papers, but I think they represented the colors so well.

 

THE CARD I RECEIVED

I received a card from Gail in Norway. The shine of that golden angel looks amazing in real life, thank you so much, Gail!
