Hi Everyone, I'm not sure if you've noticed wax seals seem to be making their way on to cards as well as envelopes. I've always wanted a set with my initial but after seeing Sandy Allnock and Vicky Papaioannou using the seals I decided to get some wax chips a wax heater and a couple of the impression stamps.
Here's one with a Merry Christmas sentiment, I used a mix of gold, dark blue and grey wax chips to create the marbled effect.
The berry stamp is from Lavinia. I used Versafine Clair ink in grey, coloured the berries in pencils and used glossy accents to give them a little dimension. The wax seal makes a great accent to a card, don't you think 😏
I'm entering this for the following challenges
