Season of Green & Gold (for CSF 833)

Here’s the final posting of Create with Stamping Friends for the month of August! We have a sketch challenge today. It’s a sketch that is wonderfully versatile. I used the new-ish Online Exclusive paper, Season of Green & Gold for my card. And since most of my supplies are still in boxes for moving, I hand-cut (aka fussy-cut) the bells and greenery to create a bouquet that works for the circle feature.

Here’s the sketch:

And here’s my card:

If you love gold for the holidays, then this paper is definitely for you! It’s so pretty with splashes of gold throughout the DSP.

Here are the details:

• Mossy Meadow card base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, folded at 4-1/4″
• Gold Mercury Vellum, 5-1/4″x 4″
• Season of Green & Gold DSP, 5-1/4″x 2″
• Mossy Meadow skinny strips (2), 5-1/4″x 1/8″
• Season of Green & Gold DSP, bells and greenery, hand-cut and arranged in a bouquet
• Basic White for sentiment, 3-1/4″x 3/4″, right end flagged
  • Stamp the sentiment from Trucking Along in Versamark ink and heat emboss with gold embossing powder.
• Gold ribbon from Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo Pack (another Online Exclusive)

I cut three of the bell images (one is a double bell) and arranged them in a cluster. I popped them up on Dimensionals after gluing down the various greenery sprigs. Then I added a bow with a Mini Glue Dot.
