Greetings! I have a golden project to share with you today. I love using gold and cream and have to ration it so that I don’t do too many cards a month with those two colors. I don’t think I’ve done one in a while, so this is my fix. I’m using a stamp from JustRite Stampers that surprisingly I’ve never used before, Christmas Treasures. This card (perhaps minus the pearls) falls squarely in the category that I’d consider for assembly line and creating multiples.
From the bottom of my medallion I layered Spellbinders Lacey Circles #4 then added cut my circular sentiment from Spellbinders Class Circles SM #6. My gold rimmed layer is cut from Spellbinders Standard Circles SM #5. Then finally my main picture is cut from Spellbinders Standard Circles LG #3. I tried my image embossed with just black but it was too stark while the trial I embossed with just gold was too light. So, I combined the best of both worlds, I embossed the top with gold and the bottom with black and you can kind of see in the middle where they blend. Yea, another card to add to my pile – I’m well on my way.

Thank you for sharing with us, Becca.
How beautiful. I really need to get some of the “Just Rite” products. I love them, but have never seen them anywhere.
Are they only available online?
Yet again, another beautiful card. I really like the 12 weeks of Christmas that JustRite is doing as well. So many more ideas, just gets those creative juices flowing. My favorites are the simplistic yet elegant ones, you are a creator of many of those, Thank you! Thanks for sharing Becca, it is a pure pleasure opening my email when you have added something of yours to put in it.
I can see why you so enjoy gold and cream…this is so beautiful and rich. The Spellbinders Lacy Circles are on my must-have list. Could you leave a note on what gold embossing powder you used? It goes so well with the cardstocks you’ve used.
This is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!! I TOO LOVE gold on my cards!!!! It is ELEGANT and SO PERFECT for a Christmas card!!!! AND Our Saviors Birth!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Just beautiful, and I love the colors as well. The paper with the gold scrolls, is that Bazill as well. If so, I’m going to get me some.
