Hello, friends! I’m back with more Christmas card ideas. I made this one using Simon Says Stamp Holiday Sprigs stamp set – it is a favorite of mine for this season.

CARD DETAILS

I am a big fan of using darker colors of cardstock for the background for my cards. I opted to use black for this card, the result is very dramatic. I know this isn’t for everyone, but I adore dark moody designs like this.

I first foiled a sentiment in the center of a black cardstock panel using Matte Gold foil. The sentiment is from Spellbinders – Essential Christmas Greetings set. Next, I stamped and colored 4 sprigs from the Holiday Sprigs stamp set. I used Memento Tudexo Black ink for stamping and colored with Copics – G21, G94, and G99, and R22, R24, and R27. I cut the images out with coorindating die and to fake the look of having these created on black cardstock, I colored the white edge using a 100 Black Copic marker.

I arranged the die cuts to form a wreath and placed them surrounding the foiled sentiment. I added clear droplets over the red berries to make them dimensional and added white dots using a white gelly rol pen.

Have fun stamping!

Love this rich, dark background. Am so glad I got this set!! I adore how you colored it. I don’t foil, but I could work out another way to do this. GORGEOUS, Yana!!
