The calendar tells me there's only a week until Thanksgiving, and Christmas is just around the corner! At Color Hues we are inviting you to bring out red and metallic gold to make your cards over the next two weeks. Christmas or not, these colors are elegant and full of possibilities!
I am making every effort to dig into supplies from my stash and bring them out for inking! The Joyful Poinsettia stamp (W Plus9) makes a beautiful background. I stamped it in Versamark ink onto Real Red card stock, and heat embossed it with glittery gold embossing powder.
The sentiment is in gold foil and I adorned it with three red gems.
Sparkle and elegance are my favorites for Christmas cards and this one has both. It's much more glittery IRL!
Can't wait to see what you will make with these colors. Please join us!
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!
Supplies: Sentiment is from Gina K Foil-Mates Joyful Holiday
I'm adding this to Peace On Earth Challenge
