I'm loving the elegant look of this colour combination. The card above started with die-cuts, Pine Needle Sprigs and Pine Cones (both from Gina Marie Designs). The pieces were cut from scraps of leftover white card stock, pressed into a versamark pad and heat embossed in either silver or silver tinsel, and princess gold or gold tinsel embossing powders (Ranger). It's hard to see the difference in the photo, but they definitely give a different look, one shine and one glittery.
The pieces are arranged into a swag and adhered to the front of the card. Joy (retired sentiment) is stamped and heat embossed in Princess Gold embossing powder to finish. Easy and quick CAS design.

ReplyDeleteBeautifully CAS, Loll. I love the idea of two different 'shades' of silver and gold.
ReplyDeleteYes, elegant and gorgeous die cut and heat embossed pinecones and pine sprigs in silver and gold. Love how you used your EB powders in regular and tinsel to give shiny and glitter die cut images, Lolly. So clever of you. TFS Love and Hugs...Nancy

ReplyDeleteAnother beauty using these metallic colours, Loll. Fabulous heat embossing… I thought you used metallic / foil cardstock. Amazing photography work to capture the shine.
