Here I combined a few challenges.
I made a stencil from a die using vellum and then inked through it onto black card and embossed in gold. I found an odd snippet of manuscript card in my left over card drawers and so utilised the sketch from Fab Friday... I had to alter the positioning a little because of a) the tiny back sentiment strip and b) the position of the staves on the manuscript die cut. I hope this is permissible. I would have liked to use the sketch exactly, so I may do another card for that.
My son and family should have been flying to friends in the States for a skiing break in Maine today, but their host found himself in quarantine (with flu like symptoms) and so they have had to cancel and remain home... not very happy bunnies! Not very happy for their friend either!
Embossing & Gold

ReplyDeleteGorgeous gold heat embossed stenciled tree with all your black accents, Chrissie. Love how you made your stencil from a die cut tree too. TFS and stay healthy.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty with the gold on the black Chrissie - love that Christmas tree and the offset music sheet panel behind it! Sadly, this virus is changing so many plans for people. It's a very strange time we are living through now.
ReplyDeleteGold and black are so elegant, Chrissie, and the introduction of the music panel was a great idea. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
