PTI June Blog Hop & CFC106

 

Hello! :) As I was going through my supplies to find anything gold in my stash for PTI's June Blog Hop "A Touch of Gold", I randomly came across some PTI freebies that I printed out more than a year ago.  I decided that this one by Maile Belles would be perfect for adding a touch of gold to, so that's what I did.  It's a fairly simple card in design, but was slightly complicated to put together.  Glitter is just tricky.  I'll leave it at that.  Plus, I decided to use a tag because I had some gold ribbon that I thought would be perfect...well, at least I thought I had gold ribbon.  Turns out it was silver.  Ha!  So I improvised and painted some black floss gold, then dumped a bunch of gold glitter on it. I mixed my newly created gold floss in with some more black floss and that was that.  It ended up working just fine. 

In the end I thought the tag just needed something, so I pulled out PTI's Doily Details dies.  After I diecut the doily I ran it through my Xyron and glittered that up, too. To say that it hangs off the side a bit would be kind of an understatement, but I thought that would be perfect for CAS-ual Fridays Challenge: Over the Edge.  Well, that's it for me.  Thanks for stopping by! :) Hope you have a happy day!
