Black & Gold Ornaments Card
Card front: Place your card with the fold on the left. Cut a piece of gold pearl sheet the same size as the card. Place on scrap paper. Place the stencil so that the long flourish ornament is positioned at the top left. Secure with stencil tape. Mask any areas that might accidentally get embossing past in them. Scrape the black embossing paste through the flourish ornament, keeping it as smooth as possible. Lift the stencil and let dry at least several hours. Repeat the process with the striped ornament and the ball ornament as shown (the ball ornament can be carefully done without having to wait for the striped ornament to dry). Once dry, use Zips™ to add a length of black metallic ribbon stretching from the ball ornament to the top of the card. Trim excess.
Cut 2 1/4"x1 3/4" gold vellum. Use VersaMark™ to stamp "Families are like…" greeting onto the center and heat emboss black. Round the top left and bottom left corners with the Corner Chomper (1/4" setting). Mat on black cardstock with a 1/16" border and foam tape to card flush with the right side, 1/4" above the ball ornament. Cut 2 1/8"x1 1/4" gold vellum and heat emboss “Sweet but with…” in the center with black. Round the top right and bottom right corners with the Corner Chomper and mat onto black cardstock. Glue to the card flush with the left edge and 1" from the bottom. Zot™ small black metallic bows at the base of the small greeting, the top of the flourish ornament, and the top of the ball ornament as shown.
Card inside: Cut 2 1/2"x1 1/2" gold vellum and emboss "Merry Christmas" in the center with black as before. Round the two left corners with the Corner Chomper and mat on black cardstock with a 1/16" border. Glue to card flush with the right edge, 1/4" from the bottom. Sponge the remaining black ornaments through the stencil as shown, with Jet Black StazOn® and a cosmetic sponge. Clean the stencil with StazOn® cleaner.
