I purchased the new Docrafts Creativity mag yesterday, as usual it came with a nice little freebie which included a 20's style stamp and a small pack of art deco foil papers. I haven't actually used any of the papers in this card, I've used the front cover sheet instead. Waste not want not as the saying goes.
I've used ribbon to cover the product wording across the centre of the card, a gorgeous black sparkler to cover the top left circle of wording, For the bottom left, I used a funky christmas boot stamp, heat embossed with silver embossing powder and colour filled with mica pigments using a water brush.
Slightly alternative christmas colours, but still looks pretty good.
Ingredients:
Backing paper - Docrafts Creativity magazine freebie cover
Ribon - my crafty stash
Black sparkler - Creative Expressions
Christmas boot stamp - Crafters Companion Inspiration magazine volume 1 freebie
Mica powders - Cosmic Shimmer: Pewter Grey, Golden Midnight, Khaki Green
