This was the first card that I made for Less is More's challenge which was to make a clean and simple card using gold this week, 'cept it had a bunch of green in it, so I opted to make another with JUST gold for that challenge...that's the post below this one...but here's my card...
This stamp is from Memory Box and I fell in love with it when I saw Dana's beautiful card which you can see HERE. I stamped on light green paper with versamark and gold embossed...I also stamped the owls the same way, but on white paper. I cut out the tree and then layered another set of circles stamped the same way and cut out on a darker green paper. The three darker circles were cut minus the little slits that were the lighter green. I then thought that I needed the little slits because they overlapped the light, so I patted them on the versamark pad and made them a little darker and then adhered them to the other papers. I used my papertrey ink canvas/linen texture plate and a a sentiment from Stampendous...ok, kind of cutsie, but the font I thought, played with the formal but graphic feel of the image. The ground is gold paper, cut by hand.

Beautiful card! Thanks for the inspiration as I have this stamp and love it but used it only once.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Lisa. The gold gives it so much definition!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the two colors of green in the tree. This green/gold/white combination is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love love your gold embossing, Lisa. I must admit that I almost never emboss in gold! You make me want to get rid of the old gold embossing powder and get some new gold one! Gorgeous owl card, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteLisa, this is beautiful! It has such a modern feel! I love how you left the owls white and gold, and what a perfect embossing!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so gorgeous. Your color against the white....LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI love this, Lisa. That stamp is gorgeous. Love the gold and the paper piecing and the fabulous sentiment. Ann Y.
