Today I made a card for the latest Color Hues Challenge.
I found it to be a tricky combination!
I was die cutting all kinds of images and going through all my metallic and cream papers, matching this, changing that until I finally felt like this was a good combination.
Very difficult to photograph with the metallic gold papers though!
I embossed the base of Vintage Cream card stock using the Plaster Embossing folder from Spellbinders that gave it a nice depth. I die cut the Flower Jar from Gina Marie Designs out of Kraft Metallic Gold paper from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology. The strip of gold/cream DP is from an older 12"x 12"paper pad Cotton Fields by DCWV. I gold embossed the stamped sentiment.
This shows the shine of the metallic gold papers and gold embossed sentiment a bit better.
Also sending my card to:
Found the 'not used for years' Flower Jar die in my box of floral dies
