We Three Kings...

I have a Christmas card to share today...featuring a Penny Black stamp called 'We Three Kings'. I heat embossed it on black card using 'Copper Kettle' embossing powder from Personal Impressions. I didn't have any copper card to mat it on to, so I used more of the embossing powder on white card...just inking around the edges using Versamark Ink and coating it with the powder...I did a couple of layers to get an even coat. I stamped the matching sentiment along the bottom of my card blank, then added the image panel above.

  3. Stunning card! The copper embossing is so effective. I jumps forward from the dark background. This would look great on a dark navy blue too! Perfect sentiment here too.

    Thanks for taking part in the September Rudolph Days Challenge.
