Go for the Gold!

Alert!  I recently lost all of my pictures on this blog.  That included my header and some badges and blinkies.  I have been trying to recreate them and I am still under construction.  I hope that I have your patience while I work at it.  I am only going back to the beginning of September for my posts. If you want to see older cards, you can check out my Pinterest page  HERE

I am Going for the Gold with Sandy Allnock this week and I have made a few cards that I will post in the next few days.  I have to say that she inxpired me to make Christmas cards, and it is not even Halloween yet.
You can find her lessons HERE
Here is my first one. 
 I stamped with Gold Texture Luxe  by Faber Castell for the script.  For more texture, I spread it on the ornaments, and then stamped with the script stamp.  They are Spellbinder dies that i have never used before.  The pine cone stamp is from GKD.  The image is layered on card stock that also has the paste on the edges.  Last a vellum strip with gold sentiment and some fine gold twine as bows on the ornaments.  

Thanks so much for stopping by, I do appreciate your comments.  Please enjoy!
