I've made another Christmas card for my box - and again (see yesterday's post), I'm using a new stamp recently purchased from Lesia Zgharda Designs. This stamp is called Branch and Snowflakes from her Nov 2017 release.
The actual stamp is just the arch of 2 branches and snowflakes so I stamped it twice to create a wreath. I embossed it in silver on a Dark Indigo card panel (it's navy blue but it may look black to you?!) and added the white die cut Noel to the center of the wreath up on foam dots. I layered the Dark Indigo panel to a Foiled Silver card panel and then to a white card base.
I'm joining in with the CAS Christmas Challenge for September
Paper: Indigo Blue, white - PTI, Foiled Cardstock pack - DCWV.
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: Vintage Tidings Thinlit dies - Tim Holtz/Sizzix, foam dots, Silver Embossing Powder, heat tool.
So elegant! You make beautiful things, Julia!
