First in Gold...

Happy Tuesday,

A very simple card today but the first card I made with my embossing folders and Stamps so I thought It was worth sharing!

I stared by stamping the sentiment and scene from the festive scene clear stamp set in Izink Pigment gold ink pad ( I stamped it three times using my press too Impress which made it really shine gold as the layers built up)

I cut this out with the press cut plain circles dies drawing around the inside of the die with a fine gold pen to add the fine line.  I matted this on antique gold card cut with the stitch dot circles again from press cut,


I then added the gold pigment ink pad to the flat side of my snowflake circle embossing folder and letterpressed a piece of white card so that I got a gold backing with white snowflakes over the top.


I simply matted this with more of the gold and white adding a bow of thin gold ribbon along with gold cord to add a highlight.

Enjoy...

    Morning John, this is such a stunning card, clean and sharp and really Christmassy but not going over the top, I love this stamp set and have been using it a lot on my cards, well worth investing in.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    A lovely simple card. Great idea to draw a gold line around the inside of the circle die. I never would have thought of that! Must try it.

    Hello John,
    This is not only a lovely card but clearly a special one as it was the first you made with your own embossing folders and stamps! I love the gold pen tip - it looks most effective. Thanks for that and for a truly lovely card.
    Love Myra xx

    Love this card, just done the embossing using the gold Izink pad, mine looks dirty rather than a nice gold :-(
