Jen Brum has a great sketch for us this week - perfect for a few more Christmas cards for friends - and don't forget our postal carriers!
Those little sprigs had me reaching for my Spellbinders' Holiday Blooms die set once again...
Now that I have the 'sandwich' figured out for embossing this
HoneyBee Winter Gems plate, I couldn't bear to cover up one little bit of it.
I used a Waffle Flower Rectangle Frame as an alternative for Jen's inner panel.
Another premade sentiment from my snippets bin from The Greetery
finishes my card.

This is a gorgeous embossing folder and I love how you used a frame instead of a panel so we can see more of that embossing! That little tag is adorable!
ReplyDeleteA beauty to behold! Love your bouquet, frame and embossed background -- all your pretties look mighty fine together, Michele. I just got those tags -- so glad to see you using them too
ReplyDeleteUsing the frame was a brilliant idea, Michel, and I love the deep rich colors of your bouquet.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful Michele!! I love that embossing folder you used and the soft cream color against the white card base. Your Winter bouquet is so pretty and I too love the frame that doesn't cover up so much of that beautiful embossed background. Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)

ReplyDeleteThat frame is a great ide. The perfect way to ensure the embossing is properly showcased. I love that arrangement too.
