Hi everyone. My friend Linda (Life in the Craft Lane) made a beautiful Christmas tree card with inlaid design. I have the same die and was inspired to CASE (copy and share everything) Linda's card. :)
Linda used green and red glitter papers, which I didn't have. So I substituted green and red metallic papers and I love how it turned out. This die is called Corbel Tree Collage (Simon Says Stamp) and I paired it with a sentiment from Love Bug Christmas (Unity). I stamped the sentiment in black pigment ink and then added silver embossing powder. This gave it a slightly darker silver than embossing over Versamark.
It's hard to photograph metallic papers. The close-up below shows truer colours.

While I had my metallic papers out, I went through my Christmas dies and made another card using my green and red metallic paper.

The CAS design that really shows off this gorgeous Berry Branch die (Penny Black).
And also sending the card to Penny Black Saturday Challenge - December (2nd entry).
