Hi card-makers! It's Holly posting today, and I bet you're wondering about
the "gun metal" in my title. LOL That comes from the name of the pearls that I
used on this card - Gun Metal Pearls from Want2Scrap. I decided to do something different and used
these dark silver Gun Metal pearls for the berries on top of the ornament on my
card. I love how they contrast with all the burgundy and beige on this
card.
Here are the supplies I used for my card:
Gun Metal Pearls (Want2Scrap)
Handmade Holiday 6x6 paper pad (Simple Stories)
Twig Wreath die (Impression Obsession)
2011 Heirloom Ornament die (Spellbinders) - sold out
Noel Christmas Ornaments stamp set (JustRite)
Joy Foam pads (small)
I started with a vanilla card base and added a layer of black cardstock.
The burgundy with circles paper from the Handmade Holiday pad was layered on to
the black cardstock. I added a strip of black cardstock and then a smaller
strip of the beige polka dot paper (also from the Handmade Holiday pad). Next,
I stamped the ornament with some burgundy ink and then colored in parts of it
with Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment with black ink directly in the
middle of the ornament, and then I used the corresponding die from the 2011
Heirloom die set to cut the ornament out.
The pine branch at the top of my ornament was created by running the Twig
Wreath die through my machine with some dark green cardstock. I did this four
times so I could have two sprigs of pine on either side of the ornament. The
pine branch is one of the smaller dies inside the wreath die. I didn't use any
of the other parts of the die - just the little pine branch. I adhered the
ornament with some Joy foam pads, affixed the pine branches at the top, and
added three of the gun metal pearls to the center.
Another cute Christmas card! Thanks, Holly!!
