Gold Embossing Powder

 Hi Everybody,

Todays card is using gold embossing powder  on pink card with a stamp set from the Altenew Monthly kits that I subscribe to.

It is a black base card and I have  added in another black layer that has been splattered with gold paint. I have die cut the image out with the matching dies and then added it to the card with foam tape.

It had been dotted with gold sequins and it is a DL size card that will fit into a standard sized envelope. So no extra expense there. 

And now on a completely different subject I am having the cataract removed from my left eye this morning and at least this time I know what to expect from the procedure.

I will be glad once it is all over with though and as I said before, if you are waiting to have this done then it really is worth it. It does not hurt but  I didn't think it was a pleasant experience.

I will try to get done what I can for the rest of the week but please think about joining Lou Collins and me on Facebook Live this coming Friday 12th August, to see the new collection that is being launched, and to try your hand at winning some prizes.

Talking of which .... don't forget to check back and see if your are the winner of last weeks give away as it has not yet been claimed, and it wont be there forever.

More tomorrow ...
