One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

PTI Anniversary Day 6 "Heavy Metal Challenge"

OOH LA LA, it is all about the gold (or silver!),
I went with the gold!
I gold embossed Ruby Reprise and a few elements from Ruby Rose on vellum paper,
the scroll is die cut and embossed from Boutique Borders: Birthday and the sentiment from Keep It Simple: Birthday!
I added some gold Metallic Thread under the scroll, adds a nice touch I think!
I framed the top and bottom with gold metallic paper that I picked up at Michael's quite awhile ago.
 
I love how this card turned out!
One more day to play, I leave on Friday for California, I hope I will have time to make something early in the morning before I have to leave for the airport...depends whether I sleep or not!!
I am going to 73 degrees and sunshine!!
 
Yahoo!!
