Kinda Eclectic

It's time for another fun challenge at Addicted to CAS and OHHHHH did I have fun with this one! :)

We have the talented Lyndal joining us for this challenge. Make sure you stop by her blog to leave her some love. She has some great style!!!

I used this fun sketch from Freshly Made Sketches to kickstart my creativity. I knew I had to dig out some gold glimmer paper for this challenge and this sketch was perfect for some!
I have always been in love with gold. When all of my friends were getting silver engagement rings, I was THRILLED to get a gold ring. And I'm not talking white gold here! lol  I just love the shine that true gold has. It's so elegant and princess-like. :)
Oooh, just look at all that gold!  Gold Glimmer Paper, Gold Encore Ink and gold stretchy cord. Yummy! And paired with Kinda Eclectic? Really, can you ever go wrong with that set? I just love it so much!  This Be You Tiful sentiment from Flower Patch is pretty fabulous too!

Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure to check out the rest of the design team's beautiful creations. Lots of beautiful and shimmery cards this week!

    Hi Shana. LOVE your design. The golden rays behind your layered butterfly really draw the eye to the focal point - so perfect. Loll xx

    That sketch was a brilliant choice for all that gold, Shana! It left lots of room for white which perfectly balances all that delicious gold! And the rays coming off the sweet butterfly were inspired!! Hugs, Darnell

    I'm a 'gold' kinda girl too ;) I'm not sure why people wear white gold - defeats the purpose huh? I'm loving that Kinda Eclectic set. Will have to go on my wishlist. I love how you incorporated gold on your card (and lots of it) and still kept everything CAS. Nice!! xx

    Hi Shana - SU glimmer paper is one of my FAVE products, and combined with the Kinda Eclectic stamps, it ticks all the boxes for me! AWESOME!

    Plenty of gold on this gorgeous card Shanna but you managed to keep it beautifully CAS> I love gold too and as a jeweller I much prefer gold to white gold.
