GOLD & CREAM is such an elegant color combination, so I used a piece of beautiful gold glitter paper I've had for ages and only use sparingly because I can't find it anymore, and paired it with Gina K's Ivory cardstock, along with The Greetery's BotaniCuts Mighty Oak dies to come up with this card...
I started with the Ivory card base and added a panel that I die cut with the largest die in the Nordic Frame Dies that is also from The Greetery. I also die cut the "grateful" (PTI's Counting My Blessings Die Collection) from the panel and then inlaid another "grateful" that I die cut with the gold glitter paper. It is not a real bright gold, but more muted...in real life it still really sparkles though!
Next I die cut the branch, leaves, & acorns from the Ivory cardstock, and the leaf veins and acorn tops from the gold glitter paper and adhered above the "grateful". The largest leaf and smallest acorn were pop dotted to add a little more dimension.
Lots of BEAUTIFUL inspiration over at the challenge site, so check it out and play along right HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
