Gold, Silver & Black for Christmas

Hey everyone - hope you're having a wonderful week! I'm popping in with a card I made as inspiration for the Die Cut Divas October Challenge - Anything Goes! We have the wonderful Brass & Bliss (formerly Rubbernecker) as our sponsor. I share all details & a bonus card only here.


Supplies: Paper - MFT Black Licorice Linen;
Park Lane gold A2 card (cut to a mat);
Anchor Paper Grey Linen;
Spellbinders Betterpress Porcelain
Stamps - Brass & Bliss Bells and Garland
Press Plates w/dies - Spellbinders Poinsettia Corner
Other - foam tape; Paper Studio gold pearls;
Versamark ink; Ranger gold embossing powder;
Spellbinders Thunder Betterpress ink

 


They've donated a fabulous $50 gift card
for the Divas' random winner.

Please note that challenge winner must have an US address.

I stamped the bell garland with Versamark ink onto black cardstock and embossed in gold. Matted in gold and adhered to a grey linen A2 card. Popped a Betterpressed sentiment on it with foam tape then finished with gold pearls on the berries.

I ordered the bell set as a bundle with dies and stencils at a great sale price. Ordered on 9/29 and had the order on 10/1 - fabulous customer service!! The bells got first play here so I'll add my card to Darnell's October NBUS Challenge #79.

For my bonus, I stamped and die cut the bells, then used the coordinating stencils to colors them. I also did a bit of extra shading with Copics & added white gel pen details & glossy accents to the berries. A fun B&B die cut sentiment finished the card.




Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Recollections A2 card & purple cardstock;
MFT Petite Gingham
Stamps/die/stencils bundle - Brass & Bliss Bells and Garland Bundle
Dies - Brass & Bliss Noel Script Die;
Other - Copic Markers; white gel pen; foam tape;
Hero Arts inks; Glossy Accents

Thanks for visiting and we hope to see you in the October Diva gallery! As a reminder - be sure to use a die cut &/or an embossing folder.

Happy crafting!!

Two beautiful cards Linda. The black and gold is simply stunning but the beautiful colourful card really looks amazing.
