BYSHC Falling for the Holidays ~ Day 2

I hope everyone enjoyed all the inspirations from Day 1 on the BYSHC Blog. Get ready for Christmas by making Winter, Holiday cards with BYSHC and you get a chance to win a prize.

For Day 2, I used Clearly Besotted’s Ring Around Christmas. I heat embossed the image with gold embossing powder and watercolored the wreath. Next, I watercolored the background black and added some gold spots with Artistic Isle gold paint. Lastly, I heat embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set. I matted the “black” cardstock on gold foil cardstock and then on red cardstock.

What do you guys think of the card? I personally really liked it against the black, but some might say the black makes it not very festive.

Another view of the card to try to show the shine.
