Christmas tree and embossing

 Hi Everyone, it's such a busy time isn't it? I think I may be getting to the end of things, lots of cooking still to do though and last minute shopping next week. Then it's, if I haven't got it, we'll have to go without! I think I'm thinking of catering for the numbers we used to have, silly isn't it? At least there won't be much shopping after Christmas. 

Anyhow here's some cards I did recently.

I embossed the card, and added a cut file Christmas tree, I went over the embossing with gold glitter pen and stamped the sentiment on the tree. I thought maybe the all white was a bit stark and added some green DI ink, then to match the paper, I edged it in purple. I decided to go around the edges of the embossed image with a glue pen and add gold sparkle. I wonder which you prefer?

This is so pretty! Love your little plaid tree and it fits so well in the embossed panel. The gold stars are a perfect touch!

You have created three wonderful Christmas cards, Faith... similar, yet each very distinctive!

I just adore those plaid trees within the glittered frame on a pretty embossed background! Each one is distinctive on it's own, and so darned cute with all the added stars!
