Have you noticed the gold trend that has invaded every aspect of home décor, clothing, jewelry and now scrapbooking. I’m seeing gold everywhere as scrapbook companies start to give sneak peaks of their new lines. A more specific version of the gold trend is gold dipped items. I’ve seen colorful gold dipped jewelry and decorative bottles and mugs that have been gold dipped. I thought it would be fun to create a card that translated that trend into paper.
After cutting out my hearts and spraying them with Glimmer Mist, I used a pigment ink (Versamark) to apply ink to just a portion of the heart. Sprinkle gold embossing powder onto the inked portion and heat emboss for a unique look. You can gold dip the side, or gold dip the bottom like I’ve shown in the examples above. On one of the cards I even gold tipped the sentiment. Have fun trying this trend and share what you create.
I’ve included the cutting file for this card below.
