I used the retired stamp set "A Timber" and stamped the tree in black and then embossed the presents and the star with gold embossing powder. I was really excited to get to use one of my new winter Cuttlebug embossing folders. Here is a close-up:
I offset the circle a bit so you could see more of the pretty embossing. For the inside I used a Bible verse from "Glory to God!" embossed in gold, and an old wooden "Merry Christmas" rubber stamp that I have had for a long time.
Come play along with us this week at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown!

ReplyDeleteThat embossing folder is gorgeous! Would you mind sharing more info about it? I like the little tags hanging down from the bow, too. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patricia! The embossing folder is one of a set my husband bought me online. It is the Cuttlebug Christmas 6-pack (I'm not sure the name of it). HTH!

WoW Sarah, you rocked this colour challenge, don't know which bit I like best, the embossing, the Christmas tree, the bow or the zigzag paper. It all adds up to one fabulous card!

What a very classy card Sarah, love that glittery ribbon and the flags under the bow! I have that folder and you just can't cover up too much of it, it's far too nice for that!
