A Card to Share
This week I was very intrigued by a color combination over at Just Inspirational. The recipe for the challenge is to use red, gold, ribbon, and gems. I don't very often use gold, so I thought it would fun to give this a whirl. I was able to combine this with a few other challenges as well - 4 Crafty Chicks (distressing), Keep it Simple (stars), and Sarah Hurley Challenges (flowers).
I used the script folder in my Cuttlebug to emboss the paper. Because I used CTMH's white core paper, I was able to sand it off and get a nice script look. The large star is embossed with gold embossing powder. I thought this card could actually be used any time of the year or even for Christmas.
