baby it's ♥GOLD♥ outside!

hello darlings, it's time for a new adventure at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥! this time we have our lovely friend and fellow belle lisa hausmann setting the prompt and she wants to see GOLD: embellies, paper, glitter, sequins, embossing, alphabets, you name a cool papercrafting supply and my guess is, it'll look even better in gold, on a christmas card, so go as crazy as you'd like! here's what i did:

patterned paper: mambi, dcwv, autumn leaves; glitter paper: doodlebug; glossy white cardstock: paper accents; doilies from my stash; tree die: sizzix; doily die: cheery lynn designs; velvet florals and leaf: petaloo; gold sentiment: best creation; adhesives: elmers brand gluetape runner, 3m foam tape, mini gluedots, sewing machine

i've used a few golden items: the diecut tree is composed of doily scraps interlayered with bits of doodlebug glitter-encrusted cardstock; the sentiment is one of those foil peel-off thingies; the little velvet flowers have a touch of gold glitter; and finally the background paper is a gold filigree print. i used a new-to-me challenge called sketchbook saturday, where the current offering is rather fab:

why not hop over to ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ and see the divinely gilded awesomeness which lisa and stephanie have made, then start making your own plans to go for the gold with us!
