Gold & Pearls

Hello everyone!
We are the first of the month and that means a new challenge at House of cards!
This month we want Gold and Pearls and/or Colors - (see our inspiration photo below)

....I still need Christmas cards!

It's not often that I work with patterned paper but today I made an exeption! :))

The gray basic color suited well and as all the pattern were white, I just had to color them in the tones that I needed!

I colored the Christmas balls with a gold gel pen and sprinkled them immediately with gold glitter. - On some other patterns I only used pearl pen. The stars are colored with gold gel pen - a few foliages and flowers with colored pencils. The larger snowflakes are decorated with half-pearls!

I stuck the embellished paper on a white card and then glued a golden zig zag ribbon on the edge.

Finally I stamped the sentiment vertically next to the ribbon.

That's what the paper looked like before it met my gel pens, colored pencils, pearl pens, gold glitter etc ......!

Gold & Pearl accents and/or Colors

...have fun!
