A Touch Of Gold

Happy New Year!  I hope you all are enjoying this fresh new start to the year! 

 
This is how I started my day, don't let that sunshine fool you it was about 28 degrees, brrrr!  BUT, still a great way to start the year!
 
Today's card will be entered into the Challenge at Stamp TV, The Midas Touch and the Challenge at Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!
 
 
Unfortunately, I had to make a Sympathy card.  I hope this brings some comfort to my dear friend, lets her know she is not alone. 
 
I used the tree image from the Fanciful Fall stamp set and the sentiment from Heartfelt, from Gina K Designs.  Heat embossed them using gold embossing powder. The tree is on Vellum, which I then framed and added some 3D foam squares to, to add dimension and to make it look more like a window panel.  Added some gold ribbon and gold twine and black enamel dots.  I also used a Swiss Dots embossing folder to add texture to the frame.
 
I will pop it in the mail in the morning.
 
May you all be blessed in this New Year, with health and happiness!
 
Enjoy~~
