Going for gold!

There are a few challenge sites atm that have 'gold' as their theme, so I decided to incorporate a few into my ATCs for this month's swap on CBC. The subject for that is 'X' to be interpreted in any way, so my ATCs are called 'Blowing you kisses xxxxx'.

I found the picture on the internet and mounted on to gold foiled card. I stamped randomly with versamark using a Rhona Farrer swirl stamp and heat embossed with gold detail.

So this fits very nicely with challenge 28: gold and black on Ooh-la-la and equally with this week's 'Gold!' challenge on Created by hand. Today's challenge on My Time to Craft 48 is 'Going for gold'.

Challenge 46 on Cute Card Thursday is 'metallica' - using metal of some kind, so I hope the gold embossing counts for this, although I might well try some metal sheet embossing later.

Lastly, these ATCs are perfect for the 'kiss, kiss' theme on Wednesday Stamper - and they do qualify because I've used the swirl stamping/embossing for the background card.


One a bit bigger to see the detail:


The gold embossing is much more vibrant irl - the scan doesn't really do it justice.

Arty Girlz challenge 70 was to make an ATC, so I'm linking this. Also Dutch Dare for challenge 34: create a love theme without red or pink.
