Hello my friends!
I am a little behind in posting, but this is a card I made for the purple challenge last week on The One Little Tag Craft Challenge. I just love the combination of purple and gold. If you are following along, you may have noticed that. Most of my purple themed cards or tags are using that combination.
For this card I used a Spellbinders die and cut out some gold foil board. FYI, I get my gold foil board at the dollar store. Both Dollaramma and the Dollar Tree have the same foil board. It comes in a package of 6 sheets 0 gold, silver, red, green and blue. It's very handy at Christmas time! I just wanted to mention this because I really like the foil card that I get there and it die cuts beautifully. Sometimes a cheaper price doesn't necessarily mean an inferior product. Anyways, I die cut my foil card and adhered it to some purple glitter paper, which I then adhered to a black card base. It is sometimes difficult to stick to the glitter paper, so I ran it through my Cuttlebug just sandwiched between the plates to squish everything together in an attempt to make it adhere better, which it did. . It almost made this look like a die cut inlay. I really like the effect that created. I added a few sparkly embellishments and left it as it is. I will keep this in my stash and when an occasion comes up that this card will be suitable for, I will add a sentiment. I think this is quite elegant with the gold foil details.
I hope you have enjoyed my latest card. Thanks so much for stopping by to have a look!
Havve a great day everyone!
