The graphic for Pick Your Own Red shows Poppy, Ruby, and Cranberry, but I chose to use Pomegranate. I die cut the triangles from Gold Glitter Paper and Gold Foil Paper, randomly placed them on my front panel, and left room to heat emboss a sentiment in gold. The panel is matted with black cardstock and adhered to a white card base.
The camera just doesn't capture the shine of the gold foil with the glimmer of the glitter paper. The gold foil pieces inside the triangles actually look like little mirrors.
I added another gold embossed sentiment inside with an inlaid triangle that is an opposite of the front triangles (this one has a gold foil outline with glitter inserts). The sentiments are from the Notes of Inspiration Stamp Set.

Susan this is so pretty! I love the softer red of Pomegranate. Pairing with gold like you did is fab!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Michelle! I designed the card thinking gold was required, and didn’t care for the combo at first. I’m pleased with the result though.
DeleteLove the combination and random placement of the triangles using foil and gold glitter with the red background...I'm sure it's even more stunning than photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue! I haven’t mastered the art of photographing all of the shimmer and shine yet. It really is pretty in person.
