I've used one of my all time favourite stamps on this card - the plaid background from Waltzingmouse Stamps - sadly this is no longer available. I used a Kaleidacolor inkpad to give this wonderful ombre festive background. I dry embossed a scrap of white card with some snowflakes and then cut them to size. I added a touch of gold to the embossed snowflakes. I stamped the bell in Versamark and added silver and gold tinsel powder and heat embossed - I love the shimmer this gives. I cut the bell out with the co-ordinating die. I finsihed the front with a bold Christmas sentiment from Waltzingmouse. This set, Tis The Season, is available from Gina K Designs as Claire Brennan now designs for Gina. On the inside I cut a mat layer of dark red design paper and on the white panel added a greeting and a gold bell.
I'm playing along with Merry Monday - MM#218 where they want to see plaids. And also with Freshly Made Sketches - FMS#259 as I used their sketch for the layout.

ReplyDeleteGreat Card using two different kinds of embossing Deborah. I've been loving all of the cards I've seen for the Challenge this month. Look forward to seeing the uploads for this challenge too.
ReplyDeleteDeborah, I love your card! I used this stamp set earlier on a card....this is probably one of my favorites from the Gina K Christmas release!
ReplyDeleteYour card is stunning!
ReplyDeleteLovely plaid background - great coloring! Thanks so much for playing with us this week at Merry Monday :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! That plaid background is gorgeous! Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteLove the ornament and the cabin plaid background (also one of my favourites) but that sentiment from 'Tis the Season really steals the show. Thank goodness Claire is still active in the crafting world as she really is a genius!!!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful Christmas card! At first I couldn't believe that the background is stamped, it looks so good! Love the idea with embossing in gold and silver at the same time.
