Merriest Moments Monday #12-14

Adding more detail to my Merriest Moments cards... as the dies set has a large "mat die" which I have used with the gold Metallic Speciality paper...

Mounting up my embossed, die cut and stamped main feature panel with gold mat three ways...

So we have A5 card blanks in Evening Evergreen and then Very Vanilla... and finishing off with a large A5 Very Vanilla blank 

And a tip (and/or a bit of a laugh for you!) You can of course die cut flowers, leaves and even a gold matting panel from the large gold mat before you adhere it to the main feature panel....

But please think about the die placement! I cut lots out where I didn' t mean to!! Though luckily it didn't really show from the front...  In fact it made the gold mat a bit lighter....

Metallic Monday... and Simply Elegant Suite...

No its not Sunday... but I am sharing another suite round up today... as well as a co-ordinating multi-coloured metallic embossed Elegantly Said card...

Card created using Copper and Gold embossing powders and Copper Foil... 

Simple but eye catching as it shimmers away in the light...

Gold Embossed Good Morning Magnolia & Magnolia Blooms

So this is the gold embossed card that inspired the white embossed card shared here earlier... 

And this card was inspired by many a one I have spotted around the internet... though I think the first one I saw was this one by the lovely Linda Dalke... who has a video tutorial for you there too... 

Though of course what I remembered was a white matted version... so then I searched for that and couldn't find it... so I guess that part was just in my head after all...

But simply... Crumb Cake mat temporarily stuck to an A6 Crumb Cake card blank...  gold embossed magnolias... 

Coloured in with Whisper White craft ink... using my trusty Aqua Painter... and then left to dry...

Then Petal Pink ink applied using Sponge Daubers... and then small mat stuck onto white mat... and onto card blank...

And an admittance... I don't even have Good Morning Magnolia... but I do have Magnolia Blooms... so this was my prototype... 

And then I borrowed the lovely Jill's Good Morning Magnolia when she was here... and quickly re-made the card

Remember that these 2 magnolia stamp sets work really well together... as not only are the greetings in the same script... but the magnolias co-ordinate with each other as they bring in different sizes... 

I personally like to use the largest magnolias in each of the sets on cards like these... but more on that another day...

And here are the 3 cards together...

This needs a bit of a fine tune with sizes etc... but I couldn't wait to share the idea with you!
