The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Shimmer and Shine caught my eye this week. I love this gift bag die and its little handles and tag, and need to use it more often. I also knew that I had a sentiment or two somewhere that had to do with shopping, so I started looking through my stash, grabbing gold this and that to add to the card. Here is the card that resulted.
Waffle Flower: Flat bag die
Sugar Pea Designs: Card Front Elements Builder
American Crafts: Patio Party patterned papers
Pink and Main: Sequins
Foam tape
Gold tissue paper
Gold Card stock
My Favorite Things: Sentiment
Versamark watermark ink
Gold embossing powder
Vellum
Adhesive tape (to attach the tissue paper to the bags on the back)
I decided that I wanted to incorporate gold as much possible without being over the top. I found a little pad of patterned papers, some with gold details, and was delighted to discover that the top of each little page had a little strip of one of the other patterns on it. I took advantage of that and cut my bags with that part of the sheet. It is fun to put the bags together, fill them with items, and in this case, I just used gold tissue paper. I used gold card stock for the handle on one bag and the tags on three. I popped them up a little for a more realistic looking bag! I didn't want the sentiment to cover the bags too much so I chose vellum and heat embossed the wording with gold powder.
Now that I made this "gilded" birthday card, I have an example to CASE myself in the future!
See you soon,
