Paper Crafting Blog Hop – Silver or Gold!

So happy you are hopping through our December Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world featuring silver or gold on our projects! Here is a sneak peek of my card. Below my full card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.

My card features the Season of Green & Gold DSP (#164324), a part of the Season of Green & Gold Suite (#164121) which also includes the Golden Greenery Stamp Set (#164331) and the Golden Greenery Dies (164116). These are also a part of the Golden Greenery Bundle (#164117).

My card base is Mossy Meadow, with a layer of Season of Green & Gold DSP (#164324). I used the dies to cut the boughs and branches from the Season of Green & Gold DSP (#164324). Isn’t that cool they match?!

I cut a circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies (#163580) in a gold pattern from the Season of Green & Gold DSP (#164324). Then I die cut branches from Gold Foil Sheets (#132622) using dies from the Lifetime of Love Dies (#162583). I built the cluster from the bottom up, completing it with the sentiment from Greetings of the Season (#164325) Merry stamped in Mossy Meadow and Christmas stamped in VersaMark ink (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). I completed my card with a bow in Gold from the Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo Pack (#161633). Did you know there are gold adhesive dots in the Blooming Pearls (#162238)?

Before adhering it to the Pecan Pie layer, I stamped the 3 trees in Mossy Meadow at varying heights.

The top layer was cut from Basic Beige using the Countryside Corners Dies (#161471). I stamped the tree in Early Espresso and Pecan Pie. Using Blending Brushes (#153611) and Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry and the masks, I colored the tree. The masks make it so easy to create a beautiful, realistic tree!! A few flicks with an Old Olive Stampin’ Write Marker for grass completed my card.
