All That Glitters...

...is gold embossing powder!  I keep trying to get it off my face but, you know glitter.  Anywho, gold is the color over at Paper Smooches Sparks this week, and flags/banners are called for at CAS-ual Fridays.  A happy combination for my card:







I used PS Shadows to make my background, and the sentiment is from PS Sentiment Sampler.  The glitter embossing powder was a gift from my mom about twenty years ago when I was in grad school and she thought I needed a hobby.  Pfft, who needs a hobby cutting and coloring paper?  Little did I know!

As stated above, this card was inspired by the following:
