A touch of gold

I recently ordered two 6 x 6 paper packs (because you can never have to much paper) from Craft Consortium. There are 40 sheets of 20 designs in each and they look like alcohol ink papers. You will be seeing a lot of the cards made with this paper because 80 sheets are a lot.  I fell in love with the colors used so this is one page from the pad. I added a Stampin' Up die cut in gold mirror paper and also the sentiment. It came out looking a bit more gaudy than I expected. I could have laid the die on the paper first to see how it would look, but did I do that? Nope, just glued it right on! Oh well, what's done is done.



Be kind to one another.

Hi Brenda,
oh I love those papers they look amazing I have seen some Stamping up ones recently on You Tube and they seem to have a waiting list as they are so popular.
Love the Gold spray of flowers and the Happy Birthday sentiment it looks really luxurious agains the paper.
I think it's a fab idea buying 2 lots of the paper as they will sell out fast because they are so beautiful and saves all the mess inking them yourself.
Lots of crafty love and hugs from my house to yours. Jenny L.

What beautiful paper. Good idea to buy double. I think the gold looks lovely on that background, not a bit gaudy. Looking forward to more cards from that paper pack.

Well, gaudy seems a bit harsh, Brenda. I'll bet it is simply the right amount of gaud in person. That paper really is amazing ... oh, man, dare I go off to find it? Yikes! Hugs, Darnell

Love this paper Brenda, good idea to buy two because you know how it goes-use up one and then can't get it anymore. Your card is stunning and not one bit gaudy at all! I love the gold on this paper, it is rich and elegant looking. So I say a job well done! Looking forward to seeing more of this amazing papers. Hugs, Brenda
