Hello! It's challenge day at Annabelle Stamps and this weeks theme:
Say It With Gold. - Before I go into the details of this card I must say this card was nearly impossible to get a decent photograph of. I have a feeling it was the Brushed Gold cs coupled with the glittery gold paper. Oh how I wish I had a light box right about now but I'm not even sure that would have helped.
Anyway for this card I used my favorite Christmas set (Holly Branch). I stamped the sentiment with Versamark Ink and embossed it with Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I did the same with the holly and berries. This I cut out and omitted part of the swirls (just cut them off) so it would fit on my circle. I water colored the leaves and berries.
Details: Card Stock: Whisper White, Brushed Gold, Cherry Cobbler
Ink: Versa Mark, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler
Designer Paper: DCWV-Holiday Collection from 2009
Punch: Martha Stewart
Circle Nestabilitie Die
Foam Mounting Tape
Here is a close-up of the Glittery Card Stock:
See you again on Monday for the newest Annabelle Release.
