Penny Black: Rudolph’s Portrait

Often when I make cards, I create a story behind the card, as was the case with this one using the Penny Black Whooo’s Wishing [30-190] stamp set (now discontinued). As the card began to come together, I pictured this as Rudolph’s portrait on the wall at the North Pole.

I heat embossed the “Rudolph” stamp with white embossing powder. The sentiment, from the  Whoo’s Wishing set, was heat embossed with red powder. I really like the versatility of the Decadence background stamp [40-254] which I stamped in a dark grey. While it brings a formal component to the card, it’s not so formal that it doesn’t play well with the more casual elements on the card, such as the craft store pom pom and the baker’s twine.
