I have a Christmas card to share today, made using one of the stamps from the Penny Black 'Candlelight' set that I got for Christmas. I stamped it onto a snippet of black card using Versamark ink, along with a sentiment using a stamp from an old Lili of the Valley set, then heat embossed them using metallic gold embossing powder from WOW. I coloured the image using Cosmic Shimmers watercolour paints, then matted it onto a snippet of gold mirror card before adding it to a white card blank.

WOW! That is one AWESOME card Helen. So striking - and I bet it’s really shimmery and even lovelier IRL.
