Black and Gold Christmas Card


Hi, Friends.....

I'm here with a festive gold and black Christmas card I made for Scrappy Mo's November Rudolph Days Challenge. I was inspired to use these colors by the dazzling black and gold card by Vanessa over at the Winnie & Walter Rerun Challenge for this month. Hers featured a chalkboard style card with that wonderful translucent half-erased look. I tried to imitate that look using vellum on my card.


 




I used the Viva la Verve November Sketch.










Products used include:
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set (for black background panel)
Stamper's Anonymous - TH Christmas Miracle
Gold embossing powder
DCWV Foiled Vellum Stack
Holographic Washi tape
Core'dinations - Black Cat Cardstock
Shimmery ribbon from stash

Thank you for stopping by today. I appreciate your visits and kind words so much!! Have a lovely week.

  8. Your card is stunning with the gold embossing and repeated gold elements in your design.
    Rudolph days Challenge allows a total of 10 entries to challenges including ours. You are at eleven so I will leave it up to you to leave as is, or perhaps if you like our prize this month, you may wish to eliminate one entry...So sorry to be the bearer of bad news...
