I am playing along with Tuesday Morning Sketches this morning. I started this card over 3 or 4 times before I got the colour combination I wanted right. I started with the patterned paper, then worked through different card bases and die-cut pieces until I was happy.
I used the kraft card base and added a layer of black cardstock and then the patterned paper. I die-cut the XOXO from black cardstock, brushed it with gold ink, and popped them up with foam tape. I tried to match the tone of gold on the large letter to the gold on the Designer Paper.
There is a whole lot of gold going on here, the camera was not keen with all that reflection.
Supplies: Kraft and black cardstock, Designer Paper - Memory Box, Simon Says Stamp - Big XOXO & Messages for Everyday, gems.
Did you know: The earliest attestation of using either x or o to indicate kisses identified by the Oxford English Dictionary appears in the English novelist Florence Montgomery's 1878 book Seaforth.
