Silver and Gold

I love the technique from yesterday of making starburst from the Stampin' Up! Tag Punches.   

This card has the first star I made on it but it's the second card I made with the starburst.  I used silver foil paper for the star and then glued the tags onto vellum.  Once the star was glued together and cut out I took the Close To My Heart Crystal Blue Stamp Pad  and rubbed it over the back of the vellum.

Next the silver is Cuttlebugged with the Snowflake Template (left side of card) and the powder blue is Cuttlebugged with the Distressed Stripes Template (right side of card).  The powder blue piece was then rubbed with Versamark Ink and Embossed with Close To My Heart Silver Pearl Embossing Powder. 

This cool effect with the Silver Pearl Embossing Powder shows up much better in real life. Mounted the silver foil and the powder blue onto a white cardstock matting and added Martha Stewart Snow Glitter around the edge of the white matting.  Very difficult to tell in the photo but the center of the starburst has a round punched circle that is also covered with Martha Stewart Snow Glitter.      

 To finish the card add  a ribbon, blue pin and tie a Close To My Heart Metal Charm on with Stampin' Up! Silver Thread.  Add a couple of snowflakes and gems to the center of the snowflakes on scattered on the foil. 

What's funny about the card is that it's done in silver foil but the best photo of the card looks like the card is gold.  Click on the small image to see it in silver.  Enjoy your day!  Linda
