Today's card features a Julie Hickey background stamp called 'Holly Jolly Christmas', which I stampe don to black card using Versamark Ink, then heat embossed it using 'Metallic Gold Rich' embossing powder from WOW. I watercoloured it using Cosmic Shimmers mica pigments, then matted it on to some gold mirror card. I cut a sentiment using a Creative Expressions die from some more gold mirror card then added that over the top before attaching it all to a white card blank.
As it's all shimmery and shiny, it was a real pain to get a decent photo of, so here's another that shows the shimmer of the watercolouring a little better:

- Happy Little Stampers (Dies) - Anything Goes
- Krafty Chicks - Christmas
- Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes
- Moving Along with the Times - Embossing
- The Holly & the Ivy - Anything Christmas Goes
Helen, this is such an elegant and ornate card!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely is the gold gilded effect!
I just bought an embossing folder that is very similar, though I think this type of embossing is far more impactful and so glorious!!!!
Thanks so much for joining us at the CHRISTMAS week on the Krafty Chicks Card Challenge blog!!!
