Distressed Gold

Lol, time to bring out something new again at this month's NBUS #40!  Luckily, I still have a tiny stack of never-before-used-goodies to choose from!
One item I've really wanted to start playing with is our new Distressed Gold Specialty Paper.  After today, I have to say I am loving this stuff!  I love the distressed look for sure, but I also love the paper quality - flexible and versatile more like regular DSP, rather than our heavier foil sheets.  I went for some basic paper application on my envelope today, and then went for broke with an intricate diecut from the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle.  LOVE how it came out!  I water-painted some color behind the dies, and heat embossed my sentiment to go with.  Elegant!
