We three kings ...

For this card I've used a stamp I recently bought from Clarity Stamps - I inked with versafine onyx black, stamped on to a snippet of white card and heat embossed with detail clear. The image was then layered on to a piece of black card from my offcuts box. So this is another card for Pixie's crafty snippets 44. I stamped the Kanban image directly down the side of the card, once more heat embossing.

This is for today's Card a Day (late in the date yet again!). It's also another one for my own CHNC challenge 96: no patterned paper (if you haven't yet joined in my challenge, please click on the link - I'd love to see you there).

I'm disappointed that I couldn't get a photo to show the shine achieved by the embossing.

  12. Great card Hazel. You are very brave just using black and white. I'm such a colour junkie I would have trouble doing this. Maybe with you inspiration I should give it a go!
