Happy first day of the week to you! I was inspired to make this card for the Muse Christmas Visions Challenge this week! I loved the inspiration card and I want to make more because it was just that inspiring of a card! ETA – my card was a star! Thank you ladies!
Pretty straight forward card… I die cut the Peace Circle in the piece of black cardstock, cut to 5 x 3 ¾. Then I die cut the Peace Circle and the Holly Flourish out of watercolor paper and painted them with Gansai Tambi watercolors. I spattered them with the gold paint in the set before piecing it into the card and gluing the holly on top.
I don’t think the bow die is available anymore but I wanted some more gold on it…hopefully you have another die or even a piece of gold ribbon if you want to recreate this card.
Dies I used to make this card….
Holly Flourish and Peace Circle
I taped the black panel to an A2 size piece of gold metallic cardstock.
An extra fun challenge cuz, it’s Christmas themed!

Yay, I finally got here! Catching up from being away again. There’s a method to my madness — oldest first. Don’t we all love your Christmas cards, sigh… I remember some gold and black Christmas you did a couple of years ago. Sold me on that combo. This is so gorgeous! The paint with the gold splatters is really beautiful. I always want my die cut Christmas cards to be as pretty as yours, but I never quite get there. Thanks for always inspiring!
Your card is stunning!! Thanks so much for playing with us at The Merry Christmas Challenge. Hope to see you again soon 🙂
