...There is a new challenge on the Gingersnap Creations blog today...the theme being Metallics. I made a card for my entry...and keeping in with the embossing theme this month...er...went a bit bonkers with the gold powder :O))
I used some fab Serendipity stamps...those butterflies are so sweet and the sentiment is one that I have been after for yonks and seem to be using it almost everything at the moment LOL **as usual the photo's are baaaaaaad, I need to try and get this card done in natural light...it does look better in the real...honest :O))**
The main image was stamped and embossed with gold...and then I added some gold Stickles to it ... more bling...and made a fancy centre piece using a Martha Stewart punch and some gold cardstock, adding gold thread with a little gold butterfly charm...and finishing with gold brads. You may be misled into believing that I like gold...actually, I am more of a silver girl but for some reason this stamp just told me to use gold with it...do you ever get your stamps talking to you? NO!!!? Just me that is barking mad then ROFL
Thanks for looking...don't forget to hop over to the Gingersnaps...the challenge is fab..and there is candy up for grabs too :O))

My stamps talk to me all the time. And I'm completely sane. No really, I am!
Enough about me. The gold looks fabulous and the card totally rocks.
Butterflies are my absolute faves and I think you were soooo right to use gold. Fabulous card.

Very elegant, Hels! Love the gold!
So pretty, Hels! I just love black and gold as a colour combo!
nice and modern looking..love those metal butterflies..its nice that you are still in inky mode which I prefer
This is beautiful Hels: Such a classy card with black and gold.
I read your tutorial on gingersnap and thought it was great and love your examples: I knew of the first 2 types of resist already but have never seen gesso used for resist and have added all three on my mental list of things I really want to do more/have a go at. Thanks.
Veryy striking must really stand out irl. thought the dandilion head was done in gilding flakes!
