Today's card is yet again another special one! This time I get to be a guest designer at As You See It Challenge! AYSI #353 is a card recipe. We are charged to use all five ingredients to make our cards. This was a lot of fun! I'm really excited to see all the others that are created using the recipe.
I used mainly black and gold with a smidgen of white on my card. I heat embossed my Charming Day flower cluster in gold embossing powder on Black cardstock. This was my starting point. Next, I worked on the background. I used a piece of Gold Mercury Vellum for the background. For the second portion of the background, I grabbed a piece of Country Woods DSP that had gray, white, and black hues in it. I then embossed it with my Time Worn Text embossing folder. After it was embossed, I swiped my memento black ink pad directly over the top of it to accentuate the dry embossed texture. finally, I tore the top and the bottom portions of the paper and adhered it to the Mercury Foil.
For the focal point, I used most of the die cuts from Charming Day and Unbounded Love in Black CS, Gold Foil DSP, and Be Dazzling DSP. I added some Gold Mesh ribbon and some Drusy Embellishments to round out the project. The sentiment is from Everyday Greetings.
Thanks for taking a peek, and have a blessed day!

This truly is an elegant work of art! Everything about it is stunning! So happy you're GDing with us this week!
ReplyDeleteHow elegant! Lovely card, Jenny. The gold mercury vellum was an excellent way to add the glam. I have some and keep forgetting that I do so haven't used any. I guess we all have our stash blindspots. :-). Timeworn Type - one of my all time favourite folders. Thanks so much for guesting with us.
ReplyDeleteVery elegant and pretty.
