Bright and Beautiful Gold Star

I've been busy designing cards for classes 
and trying not to distract myself by looking at the challenges.

But I did take a peek at the Paper Players on Sunday
and was delighted that I had a card done that fit their challenge.


I had used this layout for a class last month
but this one had some extra gold on it.


I stamped and heat embossed the medium star
with gold. 

I even used some snippets of gold foil and embossed them for trim.

I love the texture on the gold!

I'll take my snippets and say hello to the gals at

I'm so glad you could stop by.

Enjoy!

    This is a gold wonder!! I love how you used gold so much but it all goes together and isn't overdone. Really like the embossed strip for the different texture. Just beautiful!
