Card Class

 This card was pretty simple and it turned out to be so elegant looking. We used the adhesive sheets on the back of the gold foil paper before diecutting. That way it becomes a sticker and is so much easier to apply to the DSP. That's it! Gorgeous DSP and a diecut. I meant to stamp the greeting directly on the DSP, but I had an oops, so I stamped on Basic White cardstock and adhered over the oops.

This card has a beautiful marbled look using Stampin' Blends alcohol ink markers on vellum and 91% alcohol. By dabbing with a paintbrush you get this striking background. I kicked it up a notch, by adding some Multipurpose glue with a fine tip applicator. Then sat it on top of the gilded leafing flakes in a box and volia! Instant pizzazz:)
