Golden Azaleas.....

Hello everyone: We have a new challenge over at SHOPPING OUR STASH for you to play with, this time we want to see you use GOLD on your cards or projects.  You can heat emboss it, use gold glitter, gold paper, gold embellishments, gold inks, etc.   Here is my card that I hope inspires you to join my teammates and I in the gallery.


This lovely image is from a Power Poppy set called Azaleas. I stamped the image onto a panel of Strathmore multi media paper with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder then, I colored it with SU markers and the aqua painter.
The golden frame around the image is cut from, believe it or not, Christmas wrapping paper. When we open our gifts I can't bare to throw this lovely papers away so I save them and trim the parts where they were taped and use them on cards. This challenge was a perfect opportunity to do just that. The die I used is from Spellbinders and it's called Fleur de Lis from the Decorative Elements Nestabilities collection.
The sentiment is from the set, I also use a small piece of this pretty golden paper. The ribbon is from my never ending stash.
*****************************************************************************
Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.


The sentiment is from a retired Flourishes set called "S'more Fun", the border is from a new Stampin Up! set from the Sale-a-bration brochure and it's called "Delicate Details", I know this is brand new on my stash but I couldn't help it, love this beautiful, lacy stamps.
Now, hop over my teammates blogs HERE  and see their wonderful creations, get more inspiration and then, come and play with us in the gallery.

Ooh, Miss Maria... you've done it again with your gorgeous embossed blooms! I save bits of wrapping paper too... once I was at a baby shower and I started collecting bits... thankfully I was surrounded by friends and nobody judged my craft-hoarding! This is beautiful. Definitely had me thinking "autumn," especially with that nice ribbon.

Vibrant! Oh what great colors with the orange and gold. The die cut framing behind the panel is a great touch to boot. Thanks for playing in our Power and Spark Winter Blooms challenge this month.
