Merry Monday is back with their Christmas card challenge after a summer break with a fantastic challenge to use black, gold and white. I was so intrigued by the design technique by Danielle today on Make It Monday that I decided to try on my card.
I first positioned all my poinsettia stamps on my MISTI and stamped in Versamark and then HA gold powder. Next I stamped again onto a white card base using black ink and embossing in clear powder. Stamped the sentiment the same way. Then added a piece of fun foam to the larger piece and added it to the card base, matching up the lines. Felt like it needed a bit of "something" so added the thin black strip and a few black sequins - happy.
Thanks for stopping and love to read your kind comments.
