Morning Folks!
This is my first blog post of a double bill today, my Penny Black Saturday Challenge will be along shortly. Meanwhile, we have a new challenge over at SPARKLES CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE today and the theme is:
BLUE & GOLD
Here's my cards - yes plural! - and apologies for the poor photos, I tried to photograph these 3 times but none of the pics are that good - sigh! I bought this stamp years ago from a fellow crafter but I've only used it once before! Its a clear unmounted stamp from circadesign who still seem to be going but this particular stamp is discontinued. I decided it would look nice done with gold embossing powder, it's been ages since I heat embossed anything but once I'd found everything it was quite fun! I cut the arch shaped image out and mounted it on foam dots on white card with gold mirri underneath. It still looked a bit stark so I added some glittery gold stickers to the corners.
While I'd got all the embossing gear out I grabbed a few more pieces of blue card and made these too:

ReplyDeleteI haven't heat embossed anything for a long time either. Looking at your beautiful card, I feel I should do some again. Thank you for joining in the Anything Christmas with an optional twist of Include An Angel at CHNC.
