It's Christmas Day, and the theme this week at Visible Image is, not surprisingly, Celebrations! My brief was Clean and Simple - simples!
A bottle of bubbly is great for any celebration, so I stamped the bottle and cork from the Anyone For Bubbles set, and coloured them with markers.
The co-ordinating dies making cutting out so much easier!
I arranged the pieces on my blank card panel so that I knew where to stamp the bubbles, then stamped in Versamark and embossed with gold embossing powder. I also stamped the sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black to balance the black of the bottle.
The gold embossing catches the light beautifully.
I matted the panel onto gold card to pick out the gold embossing, then placed the bottle outside the mat. Originally I was going to trim the bottle to the bottom corner of the white panel, but changed my mind.
The card base is a two-tone bottle green that also catches the light beautifully.
When I'm stamping and cutting images, I always do a few extra - (a) in case of mistakes and (b) if Im lucky, no mistakes but a little stash for future projects!
Merry Christmas, and I hope Santa brings you everything you wish for! And if he hasn't, go treat yourself to some Visible Image goodies!
