The Glory of Christmas challenge 53 - red and gold

Challenge 53 this fortnight at The Glory of Christmas is red and gold
http://thegloryofchristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/


This is my second attempt to make a red and gold card.    Firstly I tried stamping with versamark on red card and embossing with gold embossing powder, but I couldn't get the stamp to stamp properly (as my hands are too sore) so when I embossed there were bits missing so I threw that away and started again.

I printed out sentiment and image from Daydream Designs and changed the colour to red and made the background light red with a red border.  Cut out and layered over red ribbon and gold glitter card.  (The shine of the glitter card doesn't show up in the scan).  Added gold star and gold Christmas tree brads.  Layered all onto red card.

Unfortunately Diane had to close her shop so you can't buy her images any more.   I was lucky to be on her design team and have lots of her images.

I hope you will go over to The Glory of Christmas and see the lovely cards by the design team and join in the challenge.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

    This is lovely and well worth the effort. I can't tell you how many pieces I've thrown away... some days it's just part of the process to make a pretty card like yours.
    Thanks for joining us at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' and I hope you'll join us again.
