So, here's my creation, I decided to go with warm gold tones and rich red to reflect the wording in the sentiment. The sentiment I used is from the JustRite Christmas Collection - Christmas Nested Sentiments and Verse. The wording in the sentiments are really special, I love using them!
I stamped the sentiment using VersaMark and heat embossed using Mirror Gold embossing powder. I layered the sentiment onto some matt gold card ( I used the same gold card under the lace) and distressed the edges by sponging with Gold Creative Inspirations Paint.
The pretty flower is a Prima, I added a little natural twine, yellow gold satin ribbon and some torn cream dress lining behind it. I love these flowers, the fabric is just beautiful.
The pretty red paper came with the last issue of Crafts Beautiful Magazine. I sponged a little more of the Gold paint around the edges of the paper.
