Hi everyone, I still have a few Christmas cards I need to make and thought I'd pop this one into a few challenges.
A while ago I bought some gilding flakes and the colour is chocolate!
It's a bit hard to see in the pic but there is a lovely mix of brown and gold in the flakes!
I added some flitter glue to some cardstock and attached the gilding flakes. When dry I diecut the ornament, top and bow. The background ornament is diecut from white shimmer card.
The sentiment is stamped and embossed in gold and the embossing folder that frames it all is called Stately by Craft Concepts.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
I think brown and gold make this more of a masculine style bauble.
Supplies:
Cosmic Shimmer chocolate gold gilding flakes; flitter glue; Poppystamps avondale ornament and clarissa background ornament dies; Memory Box Crisp Bows die; Craft Concepts stately embossing folder; gold ink and Wow gold embossing powder; linen cardstock.
Thanks for visiting,
