Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I had so much fun as the featured artist for the current Art Impressions “Craft Time is Golden” Blog Challenge! This challenge is to create a card or project that incorporates something gold. It can be sequins, gems, papers, ribbons, glitters, or anything else you might like!

To get started we will begin by stamping a fun container for our flowers using the Ai Glass Containers Set (5921). Then we will add a beautiful floral bouquet from the Ai Floral Long Stem Bouquet Set (5918). In order to stamp the flowers inside the container we will need to mask off the top of the vase.

Next, let’s color all of our images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lilac, Violet, Yellow, Bright Yellow, Orange, Ever Green, Lt Green, Dk Green, Turquoise Green, Sea Green, Blue Gray. Once the coloring is done, we can grab our detail scissors and cut out the design.

Using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063) we can die cut a large white panel for the front of the card, a smaller rectangle in some gold metallic paper for our frame, and a smaller white panel for the design. To this smaller panel we will add some interest and shimmer using the brand-new Tim Holtz Spritz in a coordinating color for each of our cards.

The other layer we will need is a beautiful diagonal border using the Lawn Fawn Diagonal Stripes Border Dies. This will give us the perfect spot to ground our floral arrangement and add a bit more gold.

If you want to stamp a sentiment of the front of the card, this would be a good time to do that. I used the Ai Birthday Sentiments Set (5735) for my sentiments on the inside and the outside of each of the cards.

Now for the assembly, let’s add some gold embroidery thread around the top of the container and die cut a metallic gold heart using the Ai Bookmarks Die Set (5223) and attach it to the center of the vase. Then we can assemble all of our layers and pop up the gold metallic frame using some 3D Foam Strips.

As a finishing touch, let’s add some sparkly gold dust gems to the centers of each of the flowers and to the center of the little heart.

I hope you got inspired to add a “touch of gold” to your projects and we invite you to join us in this fun new challenge…we would love to see what you create!
