I bought one of the Christmas Bundles as I didn't have the Welcome christmas Set and of course I had to have another Christmas stamp set. I do like this set and wanted to do something a bit different with it so I dusted off my Medallion Stamp and combined the two. I embossed the Medallion Stamp with Black Embossing powder on Very Vanilla and then cut out the middle and embossed in gold the scene from the Welcome Christmas Set. I then cut a Very Vanilla circle to accentuate the middle as it didn't stand out enough. The Very Vanilla is layered on Black and the actual card is SU Metallic Gold.
I was really happy with the way it turned out but I was not very happy with the way I photographed it.. The lovely black and gold embossing doesn't show up all that well and the Very Vanilla looks white.
Around each of the points I added some SU tiny pearls which look very sweet.
This is the inside which was just half of the Medallion embossed in Black and layered on Black cardstock
Wow! What a stunning card. I really love to see fantastic ideas like this, especially the non-traditional colours on a Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteSeriously how good is this? Love the use of the Medallion with the family - too good.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you've used the Medallion with the Welcome Christmas image Sue - and all that embossing, such a nice finish! Love those little pearl touches too :o)
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful way to combine the two sets, I haven't seen this done before and it looks just great.
