Good morning!
Today's challenge is to use metallic gold and/or silver and black and/or white. I have used Gold, silver and white today.
I used gold and silver glitter paper, gold and silver mirror finish paper, gold metallic ribbon and gold finish Washi type tape for the borders.
For my main panel I took white stock and used 1/2" and 1/4" Score tape to make stripes at a diagonal. I then uncovered one stripe and glittered it with Micro fine glitter then burnished with my fingers and moved on to the next stripe and so on till I finished. I used white to make my pine branches (Fancy Foliage) so that they would not get lost in all the silver and gold. I used gold thread to "hang" my ornaments. The centers (decorative part) of the ornaments were cut from either gold or silver glitter paper and the backings are the mirror finish which is a little hard to photograph, but if you are giving them out for Christmas that doesn't really matter. I did my star ornament over my Nativity ornament as my "sentiment" sort of speak. It tells the story of the birth of Christ as found in Matthew 2:1-2 (and Luke 2:4-14)

This is definitely my favorite time of year when the weather cools and the colors change. I start to think of Christmas and snow. The reason it is my favorite above all though, is that it is the time when we celebrate the birth of Christ..."and they called Him Jesus". I love reading the gospel accounts of the birth of Christ and knowing that it was spoken of in the old testament as well (Isaiah 7:14 & 9:6 among others), it all comes down to God orchestrating and fullfilling His plan to redeem the world through His only Son Jesus. That is how much God loves each and every one of us.
Thanks for visiting today!

Gorgeous card Robin!! I love the background you created with the scor-tape. Most likely many will think it is just a piece of designer paper if they were not to read. I am sure it took you a lot of time but the result is stunning!! Love all the metallics and design!! God's Grace and His constant involvement in our lives is truly a gift!! Thanks for sharing!
hugs,
Chris
