I really loved the look of the menorah embossed in metallics that I did earlier in the week and decided to make another so that Dawn has a choice. Rather than doing my usual mat at 1/4 inch smaller than the card base,  I took a piece of night of navy 3.75″ by 3″ and embossed the image in silver. I then matted it on a piece of brushed silver card stock just 1/4 inch larger which left a much larger expanse of night of navy to frame it. I like the rather formal effect that this gives.

Apologies for the rather washed out photograph – it looks much better in person. I can see that I need to spend some time with the camera’s manual! Although it doesn’t look like it, the envelope liner really is Stampin’ Up!’s matching night of navy background DSP. I love that they do these in all colours so that I can be sure to find something the right colour.
