Gold for A Blog Named Hero

The challenge at A Blog Named Hero this month is Gold - for my first card, I used gold glitter paper, gold cardstock, and gold embossing, so for this card, I used gold foil.

 Today, I'm using another die set from the recent Peacock Paradise release from Spellbinders. (The metallic navy blue cardstock is from my stash, I don't know where it came from, I'm sorry!) I added some gold wax from @heroarts to the raised parts of the embossed background pattern for some extra detail.

 The new release from Spellbinders includes some detailed emboss and cut folders - I decided to colour this "Mushrooms from me to you" with Copic markers and, unusually for me, I made a shaped card!

Welcome, test tube baby!

The latest release from Spellbinders includes a die set filled with laboratory equipment, which is right up my alley (I trained in science - bona fide science nerd, right here!). I didn't have any sentiments that would fit a card set in a science lab, but babies are sometimes conceived in a test tube, so I made a baby card!

CASE of an older card

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. No posts are paid or sponsored. I appreciate your support! 

The other day, Facebook sent me a memory of a card I made back in 2009, so I shared the memory on Facebook. A friend of mine suggested that I make a CASE of this card, so I took up the challenge! 

Here's the card photo that popped up on Facebook (the original card used all products from Stampin' Up, all of which, I believe, are now discontinued.) The word die I used on my CASE is also discontinued.
