combination: Â Â And here's the project it inspired: Â Â Embossing is the perfect technique to create an elegant Christmas card.
The Snow Crystal Cling Stamp was stamped on Night of Navy Cardstock using VersaMark ink, and embossed with the Silver powder from the Metallics Embossing Powders. A length of White ½" Iridescent Ribbon was wrapped around the bottom of the panel and secured on the reverse side.
The "Making Sprits Bright" sentiment
(from the Joy of Noel Photopolymer Stamp Set) was stamped on a strip of Basic White Cardstock using VersaMark Ink and again embossed with Silver powder. Both ends of the cardstock were trimmed at an angle, and the strip adhered to the stamped Night of Navy panel over the top of the ribbon using Stampin' Dimensionals.
The finished panel was then adhered to a Night of Navy folded card base, again using Stampin' Dimensionals.Â
