I've left the Christmas cards for a bit because I just wasn't inspired to make a Christmas card with this pic of these fab pillows! Keesh has given us another wonderful inspiration challenge. I'm curious to see if others on the Inkspirations Team were inspired to use Pocket Silhouettes?! I'll have to check them out in the morning (well, it's evening for the Aussie's!). Anyways, my card ... I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch as another help because I've been so out of stamping for a couple of weeks. Instead of a paper panel, I actually dragged out my sewing machine to sew a little bit of folded grosgrain onto the card. Looks neat, eh?!I hope you like my card! Please check out the challenge over on Keesh's blog and see what the rest of the team did this week :) Don't forget to make your card and link it up on Keesh's blog!!
ETA: Lesley had asked how I stamped this! So, I'm assuming you're asking about the black card stock piece? I first stamped the image from pocket silhouettes in Whisper White craft ink and embossed it with White embossing powder. Then, I took the same stamp image and stamped it using Basic Black craft ink (I don't have a silver craft ink ... yet) and embossed it using silver embossing powder. Really important thing to remember to use when trying to emboss lighter colours on dark card stock --> the Embossing Buddy! Never any stray powder!! Hope that answers your question :)

So striking!!
Lovely card. My first thought was pocket silhouettes too but wasn't sure how it would work. You've done a fabulous job.
I don't just like your card, I love it! What a great idea to pull out Pocket Silhouettes! And the sewn ribbon looks awesome!!! What a great card! I really like the use of the frame stamp as well.
I had to laugh when you said the inspiration piece didn't inspire you to make a Christmas project. For me, the sequins screamed Holidays! :) I always love seeing how everyone interpreted what Keesh gave us to work with. Never two creations alike!
Have a nice weekend!
