Gold Dipped Valentine

 
 
 
I did it and in just under ten minutes too!
{9minutes 54 seconds}
  
 
 
 
Because the banner hangs over the edges of the card, I thought this would be the perfect project to package up for this week's Make It Monday challenge.  I didn't get the packaging in under 10 minutes, just the card!
 
  
 
It's kept closed with a little velcro dot.
Thanks so much for coming by!

Love this. How did you get the gold dip? Is it embossing powder? It looks very cool.

Love this! The arrows are perfect...the more I see this set used the more I want it. And I love the subtlety of the hearts peeking behind.

Oh, this is outstanding! I adore the arrow patterned paper you created along the bottom. And the gold-dipped banner creates such a pop of glitz! Love this idea, Kara!

What a great idea with the gold dipping of the edges :) I love that little heart border you stamped...and how clever to have the Velcro closure!

Gorgeous Kara...I love how the hearts tuck out over the edge!

Great card and packaging! I love the gold tips and your chevron banner on your packaging@
