Christmas fantasy


'Fantasy' is the name of the lovely Penny Black stamp (one of my all-time favourites that can be used for so many different occasions) - I've inked with versamark and heat embossed with pirate gold powder, using some shaped card blanks that already had the lovely gold foiled pattern on them.

It's disappointing that so often the camera doesn't pick up on the shine of the embossing.

This is another batch of cards for Clare's challenge not to use square cards for the Christmas Card Club this fortnight.
