Lovely Gold Foil Accents

 

Hello! As long as it is so cold outside, I am still in the mood for making Christmas cards.  This one is one of the quickest cards that I have ever made....I was not timing the process but it must have taken less than 10 minutes.  I used a topper and polka dot paper both with gold that are from a Free Foil Accents Luxury Card Kit called Festive Flourishes that was inside an issue of Paper Inspirations that was a Christmas gift.  I used a card base of Metallic Gold cardstock and added a layer of the gold dotted paper and  a gold trimmed ribbon, and attached the lovely topper with pop up foam. I finished this with a Gold Metallic Snowflake that I cut with Cheery Lynn Snowflake 3 die tucked under the topper. I love the ornate design of this die and the foil accents on the paper and image.  I have had the card kit sitting on my desk just waiting to be used.

This was one of those difficult to photograph cards.  I hope you can see the lovely foil accents and the richness of the elements.
