AEI♥U's gold challenge

The current challenge at the Avery Elle challenge blog is to incorporate some gold.

While I had that Tim Holtz Doily stencil still out on my desk from yesterday's post, I decided to use it as it was meant to be used, and stencilled through it using Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade distress inks.  Then I framed that panel in gold and added that to my cream card base.  The pattern really comes through using these darker inks, and has quite a different feel from yesterday's card!  Next I gold embossed my sentiment from Oh Happy Day and sponged over it with Picked Raspberry, trimmed it, and framed that in gold.  And to finish I punched some Martha Stewart butterflies out of the same gold foil cardstock that I used for my framing.  I'm sorry my photo doesn't pick up the lovely glimmer that the gold touches give.

Thanks for visiting, as always, and I'll see you tomorrow for a FUN Simon Says Stamp challenge!
