Red and Gold Christmas
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Loll Thompson

 Made this card for the Merry Monday #178 challenge - red and gold.

I smooshed some diluted inka gold onto mixed media paper for the background panel. I stamped and heat embossed in gold, the candles and poinsettia image on watercolour paper. I coloured them with my zigs and delicata gold ink, and then fussy-cut.

I felt the card needed something extra, so used a metallic gold pen to add a hand-drawn frame. The sentiment was heat embossed, and the candles popped up for added dimension.

For more details, check out my blog.

You MUST have patience to fussy cut all that! Just beautiful accented with gold embossing on your fabulous background. Love that stamp and no clue how you did that perfect border that appears to be gold leafing but I love it.

Just incredibly gorgeous, Loll. Love the inka gold wax. It adds such dimension and elegance to your card.
