Welcome back to a new challenge at Colorful Options where our theme for the next month is to use silver and Gold in your creations.

A super easy card that came together very quickly without any stamping. I used a lovely Pinkfresh Mini frame and silver and gold metallic card . The central piece was embossed with The Tim Holtz for Sizzix Christmas Sparkle folder. I then added some pretty dried flowers in gold and blue and used a wax seal from Spellbinders in a corresponding colour to attach the flowers and there you have it !It took longer to photograph than it did to make due to my reflection in the shiny card. I had to replace the central silver panel with mat card as the shiny one I had originally used kept showing my ugly mug.

In other news It’s been a very sad and difficult time at home lately my lovely Rosy the Frenchie had to be put to sleep. She was a grand old dame of 14 years and decided it was time to join Bailey who had passed away two months earlier.The end of an era….and both were inspirations for my blog name Baileyrosy,they are sadly missed. A few days later I had to have surgery but am glad to say I’m recovering nicely after having a few complications It’s been a rotten year but am hoping from now on in my health will be so much better and can start to enjoy everyday life again.

I thought I would just share a photo of our Christmas window at our new shop, I wasn’t able to physically help but was there for the most important part….the moaning and giving orders part which I’m particularly good at. !

We do hope you will join us at Colorful Options my team mates have some incredible cards to delight and inspire. Keep in mind that our contest is not limited to paper crafts.  Paint? Ink? Decor? Drawing? ANY artistic endeavor is welcome!!  

I look forward to catching up with you all.

Take care
