Hi Donna,
ReplyDeletefirstly I love your new blog face and the top image is stunning.
I love your wonderful take on that sketch is so gorgeous.
Very luxurious and such a beautiful sentiment too.
Papers used are so pretty also.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Change that "warm" Florida hugs to "downright hot".
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful golden embossed card. Lovely sketch and the papers are gorgeous. [Bunny]`
We are so dry up here. Our grass is getting crunchy where the sprinklers don't quite hit.
I,m sure the hugs are warm from Florida, they sure are getting there in Spain. Gorgeous card, thank you, xxxx
ReplyDeleteElegantly beautiful! From the sentiment to each piece of gold detail - love the dotted die cuts too.
ReplyDeleteLove the new stamp set you created! Thank you for supporting the Turner Syndrome Foundation and all your help with the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop! I could never do all of this on my own! Thank you for your dedication to my mission! You are a wonderful friend and a gifted and talented artist! HUGS!!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous and elegant display of this lovely sentiment!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna this is a stunning card. I just love how you have interpreted the sketch. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteWow! Absolutely beautiful, Donna! I love the sketch and the relative simplicity of your card. I know it's not CAS, but the monotone of gold with white streamlines the design even though you have all the fun of different patterns and shapes. I really love this!
ReplyDeleteOh Donna this is just gorgeous, I love all the wonderful layering you have done here, lovely paper too, love it in all shades of gold and white, makes it so elegant!
ReplyDeletegorgeous and elegant card Donna

Such a beautiful card - love the choice of pattern paper and beautiful sentiment thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteSo elegant all in gold! You used a digi sentiment? If so I’m curious how you went about to heat embossing it?
ReplyDeletePia, with my ink jet printer, I can often heat emboss.
ReplyDeleteHere are my steps:
1. Use a coated cardstock like vellum, glossy, or other thin plastic coated options.
2. Use an antistatic bag on cardstock.
3. Place prepared cardstock in printer.
4. Place embossing powder right next to printer for fast access.
5. Print image.
6. As quickly as possible, apply the embossing powder before the ink dries. (if the EP does not stick to the ink, it will not heat set)
7. Heat set.
I’ve done this on several projects. Not all ink-jet printers work with the same ink formulas. This technique will NOT work with laser printers. Hope this helps! hugs, de
Beautiful monochromatic gold card and beautiful in so many ways x
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Donna, the monochrome gold is so elegant.

Beautiful card Donna! That embossing on the sentiment is amazing and I was going to ask how you embossed a digital sentiment, so thank you Pia for asking.
