Midas Touch - Challenge Reminder by Rachel Duong

IMG_7441

Hi there! It's Rachel here with an opulent, rich and fantastical card to remind you about our Poppystamps monthly challenge. The theme for January is Midas Touch, where everything turns to gold!  The "Nordic Joyful Elf",  encased in gold reminds me of the talented entertainers I've watched in the city that looked just like him.

To enter the challenge, create a card using at least one Poppystamps item and add a little or a lot of gold embellishments. Link your design to the challenge on the Poppystamps challenge blog and to your Instagram, blog and facebook pages.

To create this card, I die cut the elf out of gold mirror paper and the clothing accents in gold glitter paper. I adhered the pieces together once I decided how I wanted my elf to appear. I love the combination of sparkles and glitter reflecting and playing off one another.

Next I die cut the tree stump and mushrooms out of heavy white cardstock. I painted the pieces using Prang watercolors. Then I glued them onto the black cardbase.

 I splattered gold metallic, acrylic paint over the entire card.  I covered the elf with paper to keep from getting hit with too much paint.

I decided to have fun with the birthday wishes sentiments. I hope I didn't add too many! These Open Studio extra thick gold foiled labels fit nicely on the card.

Last but not least, I added gold Fairy Jewels to the card.IMG_7435Please join in the challenge and have fun as you create your gold masterpiece! Until next time, Happy New Year and I look forward to many crafty adventures ahead!
