Metallic elements take on new meaning when you can pop out a detailed floral with the Stampin’ Up! Artistic Die. Take the metallic style up another level with coordinating gold cord and gold Blooming Pearls.
WHAT I LOVE! The Distressed Gold Specialty Paper offers a lovely frame around the Night of Navy layer. I love how it unifies the gold elements!

PROJECT TUTORIAL:
Begin by burnishing the fold of the Very Vanilla Thick card base with a Bone Folder.
Adhere the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper layer to the card as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Layer and adhere the Misty Moonlight to the Night of Navy together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard) to crop the the Gold Foil with the Artistic Die.
Adhere to the card as shown with small drops of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Tie a bow of Gold Simply Elegant Trim.
Adhere as shown with a Mini Glue Dot.
Use a Clear Block C to stamp the sentiment (Artistically Inked Stamp Set) in Night of Navy Classic Ink onto the right side of a Very Vanilla piece. This puts the sentiment closer to the edge of the card stock so it’s an easy “reach” for the punch.
Crop with the Double Oval Punch.
Adhere to the card as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish with a trio of gold Bloomin’ Pearls + one on the sentiment.
PERFECT POLISH! Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the Designer Series Paper to the outside flap of a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope flap.
