Silver on silver
October 18, 2008
I’m not sure where I saw this first but I know someone designed a beautiful silver on silver wedding card a while ago, and I have kept it in mind to try some time. After playing with the Snow Swirled tree and the flourish from Baroque motifs I decided they would be perfect for this colour( or lack of colour!) scheme. It was a very quick card to make, the only real decision was whether to stay entirely silver or add some red. I think the red works because it is a Christmas card, but it is the silver on silver which I really like. Thank you to whoever first gave me the idea.
Thank you for stopping by, there will be another Christmas card tomorrow. A big thank you, also to those people who dropped in yesterday for the first time, while I was a cohost for Sharon’s Stamp Simply challenge. I am having a wonderful time looking at all the different takes on my “No Pictures” challenge and have discovered some inspiring blogs that I hadn’t visited before.
Supplies:
Stamps: Snow Swirled, Baroque Motifs
Inks: Versamark
Cardstock: Real red, Brushed Silver
Also: Red gingham ribbon, silver cord, silver e.p.

That tree and Baroque Motifs are certainly a perfect match for each other!!! You have created just a wonderful Christmas card — TFS!!!

Oh this silver on silver is so elegant! And the touch of red for Christmas is perfect. Fabulous card, Heather.

Heather, thanks so much for your kind comments on my blog. This card is stunning! I so much love tone on tone embossing and wanted to do a card like this for my Christmas card classes. I don’t have this stamp set, but perhaps I can do it with something similar. I DO have Baroque Motifs, though. Thanks for the inspiration! Just gorgeous!
