Now the footy is over for England I thought it was time I got some crafting done and posted.
This card has been made at the request of a colleague - she wanted a 50th Birthday card that was a little different.
As gold is the colour normally associated with "50" I used some gold hammered card and some cream hammered card to mat & layer on a 6x6 white base card.I went for an easel style card as they seem to be so popular at the moment and to be honest, it was a style I hadn't tried before.
A bit of playing with one of my Martha Stewart 'round the page' punch sets. Some paper blooms with pink brad centres. A gold peel-off or two (sorry Lucy, it had to be done LOL) and there we have it.
This slightly closer pic shows the detail a little more.I might have a go at a few more cards like this and try out some different colour-ways...we shall see...think I need to have a sit down and play session.........

Stunning card, love the gold Martha Stuart edge to it, haven't treated myself to one of those yet but it will happen soon!!
You will get your Mountie pic soon too... honest!! A Canadian friend toold me the fastest way to meet a Mountie was to speed....
That's really pretty, even with peel offs on it ;-). I still haven't invested in any btw!!
This is a gorgeous card, Toni! I love the gold and cream, delicious! The MS punched border is really striking too. Hope your colleague liked it!
really gorgeous card :)
