and hello

So I've been playing around with gesso a bit lately and as you know 

I love to add texture and different mediums and layers 

to my cards so this card has a bit of everything!

The base is from the new DSP set 

Gold Soiree which is definitely my new favorite DSP. 

The papers are so shiny and smooth and the colours are divine! 

I embossed this with the ampersand embossing 

powder and applied some layers of gesso using an old ID card 

and placed 4 gold sequins on randomly. 

To get some extra height I used a rectangle piece of 

cardboard from one of the stampin up boxes my deliveries came in, 

a practise I might use more frequently instead of Stampin dimensionals. 

I used a piece of paper cut from 

an old book with a layer of gold glimmer paper and 

some vellum with the embossed 'hello' from the "Hi there" set. 

I painted the top of a clothespin with gesso to get a white look 

and tucked a strip of gold sequin trim and a piece of pink ribbon 

i had at home under the clothespin.
