The challenge today is to add something Gold... So I made a black & gold anniversary card using a really pretty Fleur de Lis image. It just looks elegant to me so thatÂ’s the direction I went. I black embossed it onto a light metallic gold card stock & fussy cut it. I used a metallic gold Sharpie to add a little bit of shading to the image. It was added to a black die cut oval & another gold fancy die cut layer.
The black bg was made by spritzing a Fleur de Lis embossing folder w/ gold shimmer spray then placing the black card stock inside & embossing. ItÂ’s so hard for the camera to capture, but all the specks are actually shimmery gold & very pretty in real life! The greeting was gold embossed & I fussy cut it into a flag shape to attach on top.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

We used the same embossing folder for this challenge, and I love the black and gold. The contrast is fabulous!
