HOC WEEK 8: STAMPIN' UP! FRAGRANT FOREST GOLD & WHITE CHRISTMAS CARD

 

My Christmas share for this week is a card made with Stampin' Up!'s beautiful Fragrant Forest background stamp.

I stamped the main image in Versamark ink on Basic White card, and sprinkled gold embossing powder over the ink before melting it with my heat tool.

This panel was matted on a Gold Foil layer, around which I wrapped some Real Red & Gold Dotted Ribbon.  A bow made from the same ribbon was attched with glue dots.

The sentiment, from Brightest Glow, was stamped in Real Red ink on Basic White card, and cut out using a Labels Aglow Die.

These photos better show the shine and texture of the gold embossing, that I didn't capture so well in my main photograph.  Before attaching the decorated panels to my card base, I added a layer of Basic White card that I'd embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.

The finishing touch to my card was some red gems from the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins pack.
