CARDS
I’m sharing today three cards made using the new products from the release. They all have one thing in common – gold.
SPLATTER CONSTELLATION
For my first card I used the Splatter Constellation Stamp Set creating a GEMINI birthday card in bold black and gold color scheme.
I gold embossed the Gemini constellation as well as the sentiment onto a Jet Black panel and then added Antique Gold Metallic Spray splatters onto it.
Next I adhered the panel onto a Gold Mirror one of a bigger size. Which in turn was adhered onto a black card base.
Lastly I added several Gold Crystals.
DARLING ROSE
For my second card the Darling Rose Stamp Set was used.
I used this beautiful floral set to create a gold embossed rose background. Which then I colored with Watercolor Brush Markers. The space in between I colored with the Jet Black Watercolor Brush Marker.
Then I wrapped the panel with a gold thread and popped up a wax seal made using the With Love Wax Seal Stamp and Enchanted Gold Wax Stick. I made it separately by pouring the hot wax onto a non stick mat and then placing the stamp on top. After it cooled down I easily removed it with a spatula knife and then used black adhesive foam squares to adhered it onto the card.
I also added several gold embossed onto a black cardstock branches from the Beauty Within Stamp Set.
BEAUTY WITHIN
The Beauty Within Stamp Set was used to create the last card. Here I also gold embossed the images and colored them with Watercolor Brush Markers.
Although this time I die-cut them using the matching dies and then colored white outlines with a black marker.
After that I adhered them onto a Jet Black panel previously splattered with the Antique Gold Metallic Spray.
Then I adhered the panel onto a white card base and popped up the sentiment.
