Since Christmas is not far in the rearview mirror, I am still in a holiday mood for cardmaking. At the end of this post, I've linked to the products I used today.
The first card uses several items from the Topflight Stamps store. I started with a black cardstock panel to mount on a wine-colored card base. Before mounting it, I used a PaperArtsy Stencil, PS317 with Spectrum Noir Glitter Paste, Candlelight Gold. Oh.My.Goodness. That glitter paste is amazing!! It spread so easily through the stencil, and gave such an elegant boost to the card. In real life, it is so sparkly. Gorgeous product. (Now I want more colors, lol)
While that dried, I started on the rest of the card. Using matte gold cardstock, I die cut a stitched rectangle with Crealies Rectangle Dies. Behind it, I added a layer of fun foam to lift it up from the card. On top of the rectangle, I used a pretty Eiffel Tower stamp from Katzelkraft - KTZ252 - Ephemera. I stamped it with Lavinia Graphite Dye Ink Pad - and trimmed it out with scissors, then glued onto the matte gold panel. The holly leaves and berries from Visible Image Christmas Robin stamp set were stamped with the same Graphite ink used above, trimmed with scissors, and colored with alcohol markers.
