Hi everyone. I have another CAS card for you today. :) I started with a small mixed media piece in my stash. I've had this for AGES, so decided to start my design with it.
The background is made by heat embossing a stamped grid image (Grid Background SSS - retired) in white. I then smooshed a few colours of Distress inks to creat the design above. It was so long ago, I don't remember the colours but I would guess it's Picked Raspberry & Mustard Seed inks.
I die-cut a simple flower (Sketch Daisy - Memory Box - retired) from gold mirror paper. I love the shine, but it's hard to photograph. I finished by stamping a sentiment and heat embossing in gold to match the flower.

Loll, I think you've captured the gold foil perfectly here! Such a bright and pretty panel to have for a jumping off point!

Beautiful!
A wonderful project, my dear Loll. The colors used are representative of you, like a trademark :-) The white mesh divides the background nicely, and the flower shines wonderfully. I think that by presenting two photos you perfectly showed the shine of the gold cardboard. All doubts are dispelled.
hugs,

I agree it's hard to photograph the mirror card. But I can imagine how lovely and shiny it is! Love the background with that grid stamp. I might have to stamp a couple off when I come out!
The colors mixed beautifully on that panel, Loll, and what a find in your stash. The gold flower is a lovely accent piece to it.
CAS but very pretty. Love how you gold foiled the grid on your mixed media piece. The gold flower looks perfect on it, along with the gold sentiment. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.
