we are celebrating our FOURTH anniversary at shopping our stash, a pretty fab milestone, as i think you'll agree. about the only thing that'd make it even better is if you'd come along to celebrate with us. so let's get right to the challenge: we want to see projects that have some silver and some gold on them. easy peasy, right? here's what i made (sorry about the not very awesome photo, but literally EVERY element of this thing is reflective, so you know how that goes):
|
silver and gold printed india paper of unknown origin; white silk flowers with gold and pearl centers from michaels; antique white mulberry paper leaves: recollections vintage silver doily; silver cardstock: the paper co; glossy white cardstock: paper accents; adhesives: elmers brand gluetape funner, 3m foam tape, low temp hot glue, sewing machine |
i should probably mention that your card does NOT have to be ALL silver and gold... you just need to work in a little of each. in my case i knew i was going to need an anniversary card for my aunt whose favorite color is *white* so this is what happened. i used the current (gorgeous!) cardabilities sketch as my inspiration, though admittedly, mine is a pretty loose version:
Oooh, that silver doily peeking out is fab! Well, the WHOLE CARD is fab, but ... well ... you know ...
ReplyDeleteLove the background paper! And those flowers! And the silver doily! And everything about this card!
