CAS Christmas Card

I am trying to be diligent and make Christmas cards ahead of December 2020.  I find that if you find challenges for Christmas cards - this inspires your creativity.

At the CAS Christmas Card Challenge for February 2020, the challenge is the word JOY.

I had been sorting some wood mount stamps and I had a "Joy Christmas stamp" so I had the most important part of the challenge.  Now what would I do with the stamp.

I knew that I wanted to heat emboss the image so what color would show in either the background and in the embossing powder.  I masked off a rectangle on Bristol smooth card stock and used two shades of oxide ink to make the colored square on my card.  I then debated between white and silver or the embossing.  As you can see I settled on silver.  I die cut the image with a rectangle die and then matted it with silver card stock and added to a white card base.

It is difficult to photography the silver embossing and the silver mat.  I made two of this design.

Thanks for stopping by.
