Fun sketch...mine morphed a bit. First, I turned it upright & made it A2 instead of square..and after I looked at it last night, for some reason I had it in my head that the circle went on top of the pointy layer instead of the other way around. Oh well.
I love gold embossing on Christmas cards but I also know that embossing powder & Copic markers can be a little tricky. If you’re careful, you can add a little color, but blending & using a blender pen are not recommended. They usually tend to “melt” the embossed powder. So in order to have the best of both worlds, I stamped the wreath w/ black, colored it with Copics then fussy cut it. I didn’t even try to cut out the tiniest little sprigs because I wanted the embossed gold version of these to show. Using gold ink & gold powder, I embossed it on another piece of white, added just a hint of color then did an out of the box treatment on it using a hexagon die.
I attached the fussy cut version on top of the gold embossed one, a little to the side so the gold embossing would show more. The edges of the hexagon were also gold embossed. The greeting was gold embossed underneath the wreath & the other die cut layers were added before I attached it to the card. Stickles were added to the flower centers & bow.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the colors of Copics are on my blog: The Write Stuff
