'Black, White & a Pop of Colour'
I picked a much neglected Hero Arts stamp to use on my card...it's called 'Flourish Tree with Stars'...and stamped it in Versamark ink on black card along with a sentiment from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous, then heat embossed them in white. For my 'pop' of colour, I painted the stars and little circles using Cosmic Shimmer pigments mixed with little water. I the doodled a simple border using a white gel pen.
The camera kind of washed out my 'pop' of colour...but the colours I used were red:
...and green:
The red & green are also nice and shimmery in real life too!
