I wanted to make a Christmas card with my Rosebud stamps, so I wanted it to be stylish, elegant and dramatic. Bit of a black tie do. As it happens, the challenge at The Paper Players is Black Tie: Holiday Projects that are Fancy.
Maybe not too fancy, but definitely posh enough for Black Tie. I inked the image in Old Paper Distress Ink, then painted it with Festive Berries and Mowed Lawn. I added a bit of Antique Linen around the edges of the image, then offset-mounted it onto silver mirri card, and then onto a splattered card base. The sentiment is from Oh, Christmas Tree - I love the Dymo style sentiments.
I'm also entering it into Simon Says Monday Challenge, Anything Goes.
Beautiful work and you succeeded in wanting an elegant, stylish, and dramatic!!
