The week is passing by, and I've been wanting to play with a few of the challenges this week before they expired! Here is another simple Christmas card, which is standard mailing size but glitzed up with pretty homemade embellishments, heat embossing, and gorgeous papers.
The image is from Gina K, a set called Tree Silhouettes. The paper is my very favourite paper of all time, Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium (must have bought about 6 of these paper packs!!), the flower was made using my trusty Spellbinders dies, and the flourish is a Cheerie Lynn one, I believe.
The trees were stamped first in Vintage Sepia Versafine, and then the top tree was stamped in Versamark and then heat embossed with Copper embossing powder. The edges have been distressed with scissors and some brown craft ink.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Gina K - Friday challenge - Christmas card with Distressing
ABC Christmas Challenge - U is for up to you
Anything goes - make your own embellishment (the poinsettia)
You know, I like the one upstairs, but I like this one better. X
