Hello there! Missy here with you today. My latest scrappy obsession is definitely the shiny gold trend. I just love the sparkle and shine it gives! The new Necessities collections are just full of metallics. I pulled out the gold Metallic collection paired it with the gorgeous Market Street Ashbury Heights line. They work so well together.
I started with the “Word Wood” paper from the Necessities Wood line and did some heat embossing. I wanted more gold sparkle, so I used a lined stamp and embossed with gold powder. I like to jazz up my backgrounds with stamps or paints these days, and this was a nice way to add some sparkle to the background. The metallic vellum is just to die for! I used it as a patterned paper and mixed it in with my layers. There is even sparkly gold decorative tape…I just couldn’t get enough of that! I added to the top and bottom of my layout. Lastly, the large Metallic Monogram Alphas are so versatile. You can see how they can be used here on a layout pretty easily.
Supplies:Market Street “Ashbury Heights”—Globe Paper, Shimmer Paper, Metallic and Enamel Dots, 3x4 Journaling Cards, Decorative Tape, Chipboard Buttons, Flair Button Pins, 6x6 Paper Pad, Decorative Brads, Label Stickers, Mixed Bag, Chipboard Elements; Market Street “Nob Hill”—Chipboard Buttons, Chipboard Elements; Necessities—“Worn Wood” Paper, Metallic “Triangle” Vellum Paper, “Metallic” Monogram Alphas, Metallic Decorative Tape; Collectable—Decorative Stamps; Other—Recollections Embossing Powder, Stampendous Embossing Ink, Stampendous Ink, EK Success Punch, Heidi Swapp Color Shine, Thread, Gelly Roll Pen, Hampton Art Stamp.
Here you can really see the shine! I say the shinier, the better. And isn’t that little jar so cute? I wanted to create the effect of little bits floating up out of it, so I used enamel dots to create that effect. I dug back into my Collectable goodies and used a stamp I had never used before. I stamped it onto a piece of transparency paper and cut it out. That makes it a lot easier to place it wherever I want it without having to actually stamp it underneath layers or on top of a photo.
Eeeek! More glittery gold! If you haven’t tried heat embossing, I highly recommend you do. It’s not as hard as you may think, and you can see how awesome the result is! I added in some gold thread as well. The decorative brads are amazing, as always! They’re a fun way to add some color and texture to your page.
The flair pins are another fun way to add pops of color. They can also be a part of your title since many of them have words or sentiments on them. I layered mine here, near that cute mason jar.
I’m very excited to dig more into these metallic collections. There are several color schemes, and they all sparkle and shine! I hope you are inspired to play around with them…I just know you’ll love them!
Thanks for stopping by today!
