Hello everyone!! I hope all my American peeps had a wonderful Thanksgiving (as I'm Canadian our Thanksgiving was in October) and for everyone else I hope y'all had a happy Thursday! 😉
OK on to today's cards:
I pulled out Simon Says Stamp's Poinsettia Background stamp and made 2 quick and easy Christmas cards!
Afre gold heat embossing the background onto Simon's Soft Navy card stock I carefully filled in the areas between the poinsettia's with a Copic Special Black marker. I was careful not to touch the gold embossing (or as little as possible) as Copics tend to absorb or melt embossed images and it can clog up the nibs of your markers. I didn't have any issues with this here as I kept it minimal.
I did some blending around the edges with Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks and added some gold splatter. I also added gold thread and Studio Katia Crystals in Midnight Blue and Gold Sparkle.
The coolest part (for me) with these cards were the sentiments. I used Simon's Extra Large Christmas Sentiment Strips. As these are printed with toner ink onto Simon's 120lb card stock - they CAN be foiled - so that's what I did! I ran them through my laminator with Gold Deco Foil and it worked perfectly!
I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the Poinsettia Background with the Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink. I then added another foiled sentiment from the Extra Large Christmas Sentiment Strips and that was it!
