Gold & Silver Holidays

Mistletoe Monday...Originally Posted 6-27-16

Today's Mistletoe Monday Challenge:

Use gold or silver as the only ink/embossing powder for the design.

Use a dark colored card base (black/navy/etc).

Using my darkest blue that wasn’t “blackish”, I dry-embossed (using my Cuttlebug) a wintery scene. Embossing ink and powder were adhered in silver, then heated up the gun and WHOOSH! I watched the melting effects create a silvery nighttime snow. 

(Please don’t mind if it’s a beat stormy-looking…)  ~Lisa

Supplies:

Cardstock: Reflections (Michaels Stores)

Embossing Ink: Inkssentials

Embossing Powder: ZING! (Silver)

Embossing Folder: Cricut-Cuttlebug (Provocraft)

Starting with a 3.5 x 5 black card base, I stamped the sentiment and floral piece, from the Gina K Designs Stamp TV kit Better With You, with Versamark Ink and then heat embossed with Hero Arts silver embossing powder.  I lined the stamped piece with an embossed silver cardstock from Create & Craft and then attached all to a black card base.  I chose simple embellishments in the right hand corner to balance everything out.  The beauty of silver against black doesn't need much! ~Colleen

I used Gold and Silver Delicata Ink to stamp the ornaments and to create the

sheet underneath. 

I used Silver Delicata Ink with clear embossing powder to create this background.

This is one of my most favorite cards I've made. I just love how it turned out.  ~Theresa
