Golden Anniversary

Paper Source "Cottage Bloom" stamp, 
Penny Black "Celebrations" and QuicKutz "Parade" dies


I wanted my card for my sister and brother-in-law's 50th Anniversary to have a lot of gold, shimmer and shine.  I remembered one of Yana Smakula's cards that I really loved so I CASEd her design. I love Yana's style and have been inspired by many of her creations.

The CAS Mix Up June Challenge is Stamping + Die-cuts + your choice.  My choice was embossing.

I stamped and heat embossed my floral image on Bazzill (Metallic Galaxy) cardstock with VersaMark and Wow embossing powder (Metallic Gold Rich Pale) and used Bazzill (Gold Leaf) cardstock to cut out my sentiment.   I was happy that the only gold embossing powder that I had matched the color of the gold cardstock so well.

As always, thanks for stopping by to take a peek.
