Hi girls!
I am frustatrated (see I can't even spell it right! Frustrated!!!!!!!!!)....I have nothing to show and I have been at it all afternoon! I have to make these cards for my aunts anniversary and it is very traditional here to have some gold on a golden anniversary card.....and that isn't really my thing - unless I do Christmas cards and even there I try to avoid gold! So I have been stamping, gold on white, white on gold, flowers, couples all sorts and I don't like any of it! Gold on black or black on gold would be ok in my opinion but I know what my mom would say...are you sending them your condolences?????? So I am a bit stuck here.....maybe gold and blue??????? I must come up with something......I better go back to my craft room....
Sweet dreams and hugs

oh so sorry to hear your mojo is missing with Gold. If my Mother was alive she would say the same thing about the black LOL! I am leaving you a link to a beautiful 50th Anniversary card I have seen - it might give you some inspiration

hopefully, you might get some inspiration.
Good luck. Cathy, xxx
Oooooh I sure hope your creative juices started flowing when you went back in the studio! I know you will come up with something that works.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by today :)
Ah - the frustration of trying too hard - how about making a nice card and then embossing gold ink around the edges for a frame, and the inside message in gold too? For me there's no more classic a combination than gold on cream, but you're going to get a lot of advice about this!
ReplyDeleteRelax....remember me and the silly silver wedding invitations! Good luck!
I think black and gold can look quite classy, have a look here or try cream and gold as this always works.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog, I've bought a lot of my stamps from the stamp attic and another good one is happy-daze.net xxx
I'd go for gold and blue or gold and green. They work nicely together
