I love to use gold and silver embossing powders on my Christmas cards, as it makes them look extra special.
For my card today, I used some Metallic Gold Rich Super Fine embossing powder to emboss some of the beautiful Pretty Pink Posh Decorative Ornaments onto vellum.
I wanted to colour these with copics, but as it’s not advised to colour on embossing with alcohol markers, I instead coloured the images on the reverse side. This does mute the colours slightly, so I used stronger tones than I might have used if colouring normally.
Once the images were coloured in and the ink dry on the vellum, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.
Next, I die cut a white card stitched rectangle from the Heffy Doodle Metric Stitched rectangle die set. On this, I heat embossed a greeting from the Decorative Ornaments set with the same Metallic Gold Rich Super Fine embossing powder.
To add some more gold accents to the card, I used a mix of gold perfect pearls and water to flick the panel with droplet…
