Now this was certainly a color combination I would use for Halloween...but Christmas?
The base card is black card stock with a layer of gold metallic paper.
On the white card stock piece I placed a circle cut from a post-it note.
Over that I place the MFT Stencil “Drifts & Hills” and sponged along the edge with Distress dried marigold ink then Distress black soot ink over the top.
In the lower left corner I stamped the sentiment from a Recollections Christmas set with StazOn jet black ink.
Then with more gold metallic gold paper and Tim Holtz “Pine Tree” die I cut two trees and glued them to the card front.
I can’t wait to see what everyone brings to this challenge!
Feels like you have really captured the magic of dusk
