Holiday Card Series 2016 - Festive glass

Hey there!

Here is a quite simple but kind of classy card I made using the Holiday Glass stamp set from Avery Elle, a brand that I like more and more over the years!

I started by embossing the long sides of my watercolor paper using stitched lines. Then I used my Misti tool to stamp the three images and the sentiment using versamark ink, gold heat embossed them, and painted everything using distress inks and gold shimmering paint.

At the beginning I wanted to use black vellum for my background but I thought gold would be better. We never get enough gold!

To avoid any mark of glue, I attached my vellum at the back of my white cardstock using double sided tape. I glued some gold mirror cardstock on top of that vellum base, and then attached my watercolor pannel on top of that gold mirror paper. Adhered everything on some heavy white cardstock again using double sided tape, and glued some clear sequins to finish my card.
