CARD DETAILS
I am a big fan of using darker colors of cardstock for the background for my cards. I opted to use black for this card, the result is very dramatic. I know this isn’t for everyone, but I adore dark moody designs like this.
I first foiled a sentiment in the center of a black cardstock panel using Matte Gold foil. The sentiment is from Spellbinders – Essential Christmas Greetings set. Next, I stamped and colored 4 sprigs from the Holiday Sprigs stamp set. I used Memento Tudexo Black ink for stamping and colored with Copics – G21, G94, and G99, and R22, R24, and R27. I cut the images out with coorindating die and to fake the look of having these created on black cardstock, I colored the white edge using a 100 Black Copic marker.
I arranged the die cuts to form a wreath and placed them surrounding the foiled sentiment. I added clear droplets over the red berries to make them dimensional and added white dots using a white gelly rol pen.
Have fun stamping!
