Hi friends! Here's a quick one for the Papertrey Blog Hop featuring a touch of gold. I just discovered gold embossing on gold foil paper and I love it! Gives a real nice engraved look. I made a trophy card for Dad's Day with this technique that I'll have to post some day.
It's a golden ticket. Unfortunately this one is only good for a special birthday wish, and not a magical train ride to the North Pole.
(ETA: OK, so you all know my secret now ... I have never seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!)

Just the Ticket is used for the golden ticket and the tickets piled underneath (works as my foam tape and additional texture). A mat stack is used for the screen material, which worked out really well since it gives a matted area, but you can still see the background through it. The background is embossed on silver on a matte silver cardstock.
I'm happy to add this to my masculine card pile.
Thanks for looking, and happy hopping!
