Welcome, Friends and Visitors!
Today's card started with the Christmas greenery prompt over at Peace On Earth #94, and then I was further prompted by the photo montage.
I started by an NBUS wreath press plate and tried several different ways with it; however I just wasn't happy. At that point, I zeroed in on the vintage-y look of the montage and had a light bulb moment. At first, I inked the plate with Delicata gold. While the effect was pretty, it just didn't show enough. Then the plate was inked with PFS Doe ink to help it stand out a bit. While it was pretty, I lost the gold shimmer so I reinked in Delicata. Bingo! It worked! However, the camera just doesn't capture it enough, so you'll have to trust me ~
I used the doe ink one more time, inking all the edges to make it vintage-y. I then used gold WoS for the poinsettia centers and small little stems, then clear for the poinsettia leaves and berries. A few sequins and a shimmery red ribbon bow to finish this one off.
This will also go to NBUS #77 for the new, unused press plate.
