52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown March Embellishment Challenge

It's ribbons and bows this week at 52{C}CT! I was trying to decide what to do, and I thought of 2 things I've been wanting to try, so I combined them. The first is to use my new bird embossing folder, the second is to use my cherished red gingham ribbon. (It's my FAVORITE!) I'm so sorry it's hard to see the embossing in the picture:

We'd love for you to come and join us this week at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown!


Materials used:
Cardstock: White Daisy, Sky
Stamps: Very Merry Christmas
Ink: Tulip
Other: Red Ribbon Assortment, Cuttlebug embossing folder (not CTMH)

  4. GORGEOUS embossing folder; this card is perfect--simple and lovely but I could see doing some subtle chalking, or gold or silver high-lighting on darker card-stock...you'll be able to use it a TON for Xmas cards this year.
    BTW, how did you create your cool watermark?

  6. It is hard to make a white embossed card show up good in a photo - but I can sure see how gorgeous this is Sarah! I love that darling bird and your bow is the perfect touch.
