CAS-UAL FRIDAY CHALLENGE #211 - Shades of Gold

Hello everyone!

I'm here with CAS-ual Fridays with a new challenge! We have a color challenge which is shades of gold. I hope you will join in on the fun. I also want to mention CAS-ual Fridays is retiring a bunch of sets which are marked down, if you are interested click here to see them all. Once the set has sold out, they will not be reordering.

Did you know, CAS-ual Fridays picks 10 winning entries who will be highlighted on their blog each Thursday before a new challenge? In addition, there is a $25 gift certificate to the overall winner atCAS-ual Fridays Stamps. If the chosen winner has used CAS-ual Fridays stamps and/or dies as the main focus in the card, that gift certificate will increase to $50. Wow, what are you waiting for? Hop on over to CAS-ual Fridays and link your card to the challenge.

Here is the inspirational photo:

Here is my take on the challenge.  I stamped the sentiment on black cardstock from the CAS-ual Fridays Merry Stamp set  with versamark and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. The layer gold paper I embossed the edges to match the sentiment.  I adhered the two together and added it to the vellum gold stripe paper.  I added some snowflakes from the CAS-ual Fri-dies Flurry, which I die cut from some gold glitter cardstock.  I finished the card off by adding some gold rhinestones.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you decide to play along! Good luck and have fun!
