Creation Station Blog Hop - Gold

 Hello and welcome

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. This is the latest hop with the design team at Creation Station, if you have come from Denita Wright-Smee or you may have started with me. Please make sure you hop around and see everyone's amazing projects. I'll pop a link at the end of my blog to hop around....

The design team at Creation Station are presenting their projects with the theme "Gold" which I just love to use in my paper craft and it's so elegant especially with green. 

Today's slimline card I've used a variety of different Stampin' Up! products from the Annual Catalogue. Starting with inking Soft Succulent cardstock panel, I've stamped a number of different images in Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Garden Green and Shaded Spruce ink. Here is the list of stamp sets used: Season of Chic, True Beauty, Honey Bee Home and Celebrating You for the Gold Embossed Sentiment.

I added Gold Gilded Leafing to the edges of the stamped panel, to do this I use a Sponge Dauber and add a little of Multipurpose Glue, then run it along the cardstock. You can either wait for it to dry or hurry it with the Heat Tool, then add Gold Gilded Leafing and brush off with your fingers or a brush.

I've used the Organic Beauty and Meadow Dies, die-cut out using the detailed dies in Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. I also added Gold Gilded Leafing to the die-cut pieces for an interesting effect.

Other gold items I've used on the card are Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper, Gold Shimmer Ribbon, Gold Simply Elegant Trim and Brushed Brass Butterflies, they seem to have a gold feel about them.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I would so love to hear your thoughts on my project by leaving a comment below. Make sure you pop over to Julie Mercer Beltramo for lots of inspiration using gold.
