Happy Tuesday! This is a card which was made for my younger sister's birthday which is coming up shortly. I decided to play with Gold Leaf as she has some beautiful paintings she created using gold leaf which inspired me.
I ended up with a piece of art larger than a card because of this cool stencil from StencilGirl which I laid down and applied Wendy Vecchi translucent embossing paste. After I applied it I waited for it to dry for a short time.
After it started drying and and laid gold leaf sheets over the paste and let it dry. Once dry I brushed off the excess gold leaf. I covered the paper with Ranger Distress Spray Peacock Feathers. I then just added the beautiful sentiment from Verses Rubber Stamps. I think she will enjoy the effect of the gold leaf on the stenciled paste.
Thanks for stopping by!
