Golden Birthday



After a few days off enjoying our limited sunshine outside, I'm back on this rainy Sunday with another gold card. I stayed with the vanilla & gold color scheme but this time I used the Another Great Year stamp. I love this stamp set because it's big and can take up the whole front of the card with very little embellishment. In fact, this time I hardly used anything - no paper piecing or faniciness whatsoever, except for that gorgeous gold embossing powder, the super-easy and fun to use washi tape and some gold brads. I may be a little biased, but I've used a lot of embossing powders over the years and Stampin' Up's are simply the best I've used (but then I think that about all of their stuff :-))
I'm trying to build up a new stash of cards to give out so I don't feel pressured to make a card every time a birthday or big event comes up - this is another good one to put in that stash!
