Hello again! Can you believe it is already December 1st? I tell ya, November FLEW by! A panic has started in my craft room... my teensy weensy stack of **4** Christmas cards isn't going to get me very far! I'd better get cracking on that before they turn into Valentine cards! Luckily for me there's a new ABC Challenge today, and it's perfect for holiday cards... E for Embossing! The challenge is being sponsored by The Ribbon Girl... isn't their ribbons just gorgeous! And all the charms... love!
For my card I started with Card Patterns #143, although I will admit I did a lot of altering to the sketch! I used one of my all time favorite Christmas sets, Christmas Blessings from Taylored Expressions. I embossed the image and sentiment with gold embossing powder from Stampin Up. Seriously this stuff is so old I'm surprised it still melts! I sponged the edges of the cardstock to make the embossing pop even more.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a chance to play with us in the next 2 weeks and maybe even win some great ribbon!
other supplies: CTMH patterned paper, gold ribbon, pearls. Misc cream ribbon
Beautiful card, Jenn! I love the rich colors and all the embossing! Thanks for joining us at Card Patterns this week!
