Here's my card.
It's hard to see, but I stamped Scenic Season background on natural vanilla CS in crumb cake. I stamped just the trees and staggered the right hand side of the stamp in the upper left.
Then I stamped the poinsettia from the Bells and Boughs stamp set in Versamark on vellum and heat embossed with white embossing power,... but before I put the heat to it, I "lightly" sprinkled some fine glitter into the powder. It's really hard to see though.
The sentiment was stamped from the same set and was heat embossed the same way without the glitter.
I used the edge punch on the bottom of the vellum then adhered the vellum to the card with two cream colored large eyelets.
I doubled up by combining the fringy string with a fine piece of gold thread. I ran them both through the eyelets and tied in a small bow. Can you see the thin gold thread?
The finishing touch ?.... What else but those gorgeous PEARLS!!!! Oh how I LOVE those Pearls!
I'm so bummed that the sparkle from the "light" glitter doesn't show up, but believe me, it's there. I also know there should be three berries in each poinsettia, but ..... NOT today. I have all my cards done for Christmas so I think I'll just save them for now. .
So that's it. Hope you like it
