Hi, this is the card I made for today's Color Combination Challenge. Which was to use Real Red, Basic Black and Kraft.
The base card is Real Red. Next I layered Basic Black. The next layer is Kraft which I ran through the CB Agyle embossing folder and then brayered it with real red. The tree is stamped on Kraft CS with heat and stick powder and then embossed with red glitter and cut with the oval nestabilities. It's layered on Black CS that was cut with the Oval Scallop nestibilities. The Sentiment is stamped with All Year Cheer III with Heat and Stick Powder on Kraft CS and then embossed with Red Glitter. It's also layered on Black. The bow and bells are from a set of earring that I got at Walmart for $1.00. I picked up a few of these because my boss and her sister are making Christmas Cards for the wounded soldiers in the hospital in San Antonio and I asked if I could make some too. So I think I will incorporate these on those cards, since they will not be mailed. The ribbon is a perfect match with the bow... I added the flower, brads and red jewels. Doodled around the tree and the sentiment. TFL
