MFT Creative Challenge – Gold Glitz

Hi everyone! It’s time for the September My Favorite Things Creative Challenge. Today, the Design Team is featuring shiny projects with gold accents.  

Here is what I came up with: 

For the first card, I die cut two leaves from the Wild Greenery Die-namics set that I heat embossed in sparkling gold embossing powder. Then I die cut a panel from MFT Steel Grey card stock with a Double Stitched Square frame. I glued the leaves to it and heat embossed the sentiment from the For the Boys set with the same powder. I attached the stitched panel to the top-fold card base and I added some gold sequins to finish off my card. In real life, it SPARKLES so much more than on the picture! 

For the second card, I made a clean and simple graphic design using the chevron dies from Blueprints 7. This time, I used sparkling gold paper combined with Steel Grey and red cardstock. The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the new Soda Pop set. I stamped it with Steel Grey ink to the card base (so it matched perfectly with the Steel Grey cardstock). This could be a  masculine as well as a feminine card! 

Be sure to check the MFT blog for more inspiration and projects from the Design Team in relation with this theme!
