GOLD and WHITE

Hello everyone!
The new challenge at 52Christmas Card Throwdown is a color challenge. This week we're asking for

Gold and White.

Not easy at all, to strike a good balance between Gold and White....

My first card is very simple. I cut out different sized triangles from gold patterned vellum leftovers and arranged them on the card. I added faux stitches along the edges and stamped the sentiment.

For the second card I chose gold glitter cardstock. I cut out a panel and placed a fir tree and stars using a stencil and textured paste. The second fir tree was made with the same stencil, but this time I used glue and gold powder. I cut it out and stuck it with foam pads.

The lower edge of the panel is a piece of embossed white paper. It's torn on one side to suggest a snow hill. I stamped snowflakes with gold pigmented ink on the base card and glued the die cut sentiment to the panel.

Have fun and ...be golden!
