Golden Gratitude

Papertrey Ink is celebrating another day of their eighth anniversary, this time with silver and gold.  They introduced new Luxe Metallics papers.  The look is beautiful!  They also announced this year's Stamp-a-faire which has a Project Runway theme.  It is August 29th and everyone is welcome to join in free of charge!  The challenge today is to incorporate nothing but metallics and neutrals into a new card creation:


Wow, that was a tough one to photograph!  I gold embossed using PTI's Giga Guidelines Stamp Set onto PTI's Fine Linen and some white cs from my stash.  I has a sheet of gold foil from days of old.  My embossing powder is PSX, also from days of old.

Thanks for coming over to visit!  I hope you're having a great day!

    Oh so lovely! Got to get my butt in gear and work on the gold and now the blue challenges! Hey, not sure where in Wisconsin you are, but do you know Bev B. of Happy Dance? In Racine? She has a group that meets to craft and she's looking for takers...

    A decent logo will enable you to draw consideration, recognize your image and create an enthusiastic reaction. A one of a kind logo will reinforce your organization's picture and make a mental favorable position over challenge. logo design service
