It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players! This week the multi talented, Joanne is our hostess! I love the black and white plus gold OR silver and one color of your choice challenge! How fun! Oh, I can't wait to see all the entries with this combo!
My base card is Basic Black. The next layer is silver foil. The top layer is Whisper White card stock. I used the Tim Holtz Bubble stencil and applied silver metallic embossing paste with a palette knife over the stencil. I set it aside to dry.
A small piece of watercolor paper was used to apply Peacock Feathers Distress ink with a blending tool. I used the Embellished Ornaments die from Stampin' Up! and cut the ornament out of this distressed piece. I love the way the ornament turned out. I ran the die through in silver foil too to get the hanger for the ornament. The "Merry" was cut using silver foil using the Reverse Confetti-Winter Words. It was adhered with 2 way glue. I found the silver tinsel in my scrap box to add to the top of the ornament.
So happy you stopped by my blog today! Please leave a message! I love to hear from you!
Don't forget to check out the fabulous inspirations from our design team and I hope that you will play along with our challenge this week.
