Double D Silver and Gold

Can you believe this is the last Double D Challenge for this year? Where did the time go?  Next month we start a new year with new challenge boards. I have seen them and The Ds have once again provided fabulous inspiration. For this challenge  Darlene's Mood board captures the warmth of gold and silver beautifully. 


                                                 
This is my take on the challenge. I cut a Diversions Whispers Angelic in black and backed it with some double sided adhesive paper and then applied some Nuvo gilding flakes to make a background. Then I used some embossing powder to make gold and silver paper and cut two more panels. I fussy cut around the angels and star and  popped them up with a slight offset.  


Don't forget to visit the Double D Blog to see all the inspiration from the team. Then join us in the challenge.

  12. You are so creative with your card crafting, Kathy! Ohhhh, those gilding flakes! I received a card using them a while back and they are incredible. Clever to make your own silver and gold with the flakes and embossing powders. I also love how you isolated the star and angels to bring them forward. Clearly, that's a very versatile die! Happy Christmas, Kathy!
