Silver & Gold

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I've die cut the mistletoe from silver and gold foil and put it with some embossing.

And another this time using an Alexandra Renke die and embossing

You've brought out my favorite tool today, Bonnie! I have added another EF to ever-growing collection - but these two really are favorites! LOVE the MB mistletoe in these gorgeous matte finish metals!
It's clear that you really enjoyed making these two beauties!

These are gorgeous, Bonnie. Lovely cards that make me want to kiss someone!

I'm seeing wonderful results from your massive embossing folder stash, Bonnie. ;) They add so much texture to the lovely gold and silver elements on your cards.

Darnell said...

You really have such a great eye for design, Bon. These are both so eye-popping and the texture makes me want to caress them through my monitor! Just stunning - especially embossing the gold leaves after cutting them! Hugs, Dolly

Happy New Year Bonnie! Love both these cards, so elegant!

Beautiful use of the gold and silver! I love both cards! They are so elegant. Love the texture on the two card bases, the use of the embossed strip on the first and the thin frame and twine on the second.

Pat said...

Two different but equally beautiful dies featuring mistletoe and I love both designs Bonnie. The first is so elegant with the leaf embossing and the soft white of the background embossed card, and the second is lovely and glittery with the frame mistletoe berries and twine, and then the textured gold of the mistletoe itself, and more beautiful embossing on the background card...gorgeous! x

Nstiz said...

Definitely two "WOW" cards! Love the silver and gold and all the glitter and shimmer on them. You do have a remarkable talent for design! These no doubt will be cased! I for one must get those dies!

Both cards are gorgeous. But the first one is a real "show-stopper".

TWO beautiful gold and silver designs Bonnie! I love that mistletoe die in the silver with gold berries and bow and wonderful textured background - and the crimped branch is so delicate with that wonderful flowing silver string bow! Thanks for joining in my CAS Christmas challenge this month! Julia xx

Bonnie, your silver and gold mistletoe is so beautiful. And love that pretty bow to wrap it up. Thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas.

Both cards are stunning and elegant, Bonnie! It's so interesting to see the smooth metallic die-cut and the textured metallic due-cut have a totally different feeling. The subtle texture in the backgrounds are really wonderful touch. I'm always happy to see your cards in the CAS Christmas gallery. Thanks for sharing!
