Black & Gold Hello

HiYa, and welcome. Thanks for all the sweet comments on the new bathroom. Mr. is painting in there today, so pretty soon all the things that hang on the wall, set on shelves, etc, that have been thoroughly dusted... can go back in the normal places. And we will be DONE! (with that part anyway). Embarrassing to see all the dust on stuff that sets in place for months & months (well, probably years!) so that was good to get cleaned. There's a cabinet over the toilet so it's high up enough, one never sees the dust until one has to take the 'pretties stuff' down from the top of it....then one is Very Embarrassed at what a poor housekeeper one has become. :-(

Here's another card made from old stash bits that were done years ago...(at least in boxes, the pieces don't get dusty! LOL)

- old wooden block rose, probably embossed with Ranger's Queens Gold, over black c/s, die cut with a S/B rectangle...gold mat.

- a gray tone card base embossed with a S/B EF, swirled over with a TH sponging tool, using Delicata gold. Found this works better for me to get an even look than trying to use a finger dauber. The gold on the embossing doesn't show in the photo, but it's there. :-}

- Old MS lace punch cut the border scallop from a snippet of black glitter paper. This punch was the first one I ever bought- think it was in Walmart, for $5.00. Used a tiny strip of the paper (from cutting the scallop) to edge the bottom of the card base where the embossing had stopped.

- Sentiment die cut from snippet of the black glitter. This will be going to our next door neighbor who had surgery today.

Hope ya'll are having a fine afternoon. Think I got all the over-due visits returned yesterday afternoon. Sometimes I'm not always certain that Blogger publishes my comments, so if you've left me a visit and I didn't return one, let me know...If there's a lot of comments to catch up, I don't go back to double check on the publishing. I do try to return visits to anyone who's been kind enough to leave me a comment. Still don't know how to comment at the Google Plus blogs though. So any help on that would be appreciated.

Hugs & thanks for visitin'. Bye ya'll
