CASE-ing Tuesday #168: Dashing Deer & Silver Foil

"Silver & gold. Silver & gold  Everyone wishes for silver & gold.  How do you measure it's worth?  Just by the pleasures it gives here on earth."  Did you sing that with Burl Ives' voice in your head?  If you're a Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer fan, you'd know that's the song the folk-singer snowman sings when he's trying to teach Rudolph and his friends a lesson on the importance of friendship over material goods. 

BUT...now you can send your friends cards with Silver AND Gold foil trim.  I'd be hard pressed to decide which I like better.  If you asked me yesterday, I'd have to say I love the elegance of the Gold Foil Cards and Envelopes.  But today, my preference is the Silver.  I'll let you decide which works best.  Or better yet, get both so you don't have to decide!

Today's Case-ing Tuesday Card used the design as a 'suggestion'.  My imagination and creativity got the better of me and my final product is a bit far from the original.  Still, I love the way it turned out!
