Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I've been so busy with classes and trying to finish up my Christmas cards that
I have neglected my blog.
That Color Hues challenge has been rolling around in my brain and I finally
took the time to use it for a card.
I found a piece of alcohol inked Yupo paper inked with red and gold that made
a good pairing with this NBUS ornament die.
There are gold lines in the bauble that were made by rubbing Deco Foil along
the sticky bits of the alcohol ink. They don't want to show well in the photo.
Then I die cut some pine sprigs from gold foil cardstock and a few little dots from
the leftover piece of gold foil.
The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed.
I love how these colors show against a black background.
Challenges:
Color Hues #76 - Red & Metallic Gold
Double D - Stripes or Dots (gold dots)
NBUS #56 - Never Before Used Schtuff (Ornament Die)
Card Recipe
Stamps: Merry Christmas (IO)
Ink: Encore Gold
Paper: Black, Gold Foil, Yupo
Other: Alcohol Inks (Red Pepper, Gold Mixative), Gold Deco Foil, Fir Sprig die (SSS), Holiday Messages Ornament die (SSS)
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThat ornament is lovely, Bonnie, and it seems you and Loll were on the same wave length. Thanks for choosing to play with Color Hues when I know you are busy! I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWhat an impact that red marbled ornament has against the black background! This one just pops off the page. Love the gold pine branches with this too. Outstanding in design!

ReplyDeleteWow! That bauble is striking and pops beautifully amongst your golden pine sprigs against the black. Amazing card.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful and dramatic Christmas card, Bonnie. The bauble looks beautiful and I can see the gold on it. Yes, to show their glow, you would have to post another photo of the card in a different setting for the light source. When we want to present the card in a normal setting, we never manage to capture the sparkle.
