There's only three more days til Christmas, so I'm posting my last holiday TJ card for the year. I wanted to do something different with the Technique Junkies Christmas Lights stamp, so I embossed it with gold embossing powder and watercolored each bulb with an iridescent gold watercolor paint. The sentiment, from the Poinsettias set, was embossed with the same gold embossing powder. I fussy-cut that and popped it up with foam tape.
Before I adhered this to my card base, I decided I wanted a gold mat between my black card and the stamped lights piece. The gold cardstock I had did not match my embossing powder, so I employed an easy trick. I inked up the edges of some black paper with Versamark, covered them with the gold embossing powder, and melted the powder with a heat tool. I love the seamless transition from my gold sentiment to the gold lights to my gold "framing."
I hope you all have a wonderful and happy holiday with your friends and family.
