I don't know about you, but I am SO ready for summer weather! Here in Oregon, the rainy days continue after experiencing the "wettest April on record"...and I'm ready for the beach!
So in lieu of sunny weather, I reached for my new Season of Chic stamps, the Chic dies and some absolutely gorgeous new papers: Texture Chic and Distressed Gold. And look what happened:
OMG, I'm so in love!
I first wanted to showcase this beautiful Texture Chic designer paper. I cut a 3" x 4-1/4" piece of scrap cardstock and bordered it with Tear & Tape adhesive. After removing the protective liner paper, I smooshed the piece face down in Gold Leafing to give the shiny edge to the cardstock. Then I adhered a slightly smaller piece of the Texture Chic paper over the top, leaving the gold edges exposed. Be still my heart!
This was attached to the Evening Evergreen card base, with a layer of Evening Evergreen (cut with the new Deckled Rectangle dies and embossed with the Painted Texture embossing folder). 💓 (beating heart!)
Then came the "decorating" - look at the beautiful fishnet. The Distressed Gold paper was cut with one of the Chic dies (I only used half of it), and the greeting, stamped in Versamark and heat-embossed with Gold Embossing Powder on Soft Succulent cardstock was cut with the new Stylish Layers dies.
This is lovely! I’m waiting for my gold speciality paper that goes with this bundle!

DeleteI'm in love with this card and the wonderful tip to save my gold leafing. I think you are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh! So glad we saved your gold leafing! I know it can be a little finicky to work with but using Tear ‘n Tape adhesive does the trick for me. Always happy to help! Thanks for your comment.
