Christmas decorations are starting to go up ... I wait till the weekend after Thanksgiving to do mine but I start making cards long before that ...
the Peace card is done with navy cardstock, spritzed with pearl spray then put into the Snowflake 3D embossing folder and lightly drag silver metallic ink over it, oh about a 1/4" in on all 4 sides was smugged with black to give a bit of shadow ... I stamped Santa on white cardstock then colored then used color pencils the background paper has gold metallic swirled thru it so I took solid red card stock 1/2" wide and laid 1/4" metallic gold stirp over it to surround Santa and put it on a gold metallic card
this is the same red and gold metallic background paper but I die cut the Reindeer/Merry Christmas from gold metallic and put the card front on a gold metallic card
the poinsettia is made from HaFrey leaf die cut using Tim Holtz metallic paper in red and green then placed in an embossing folder to give demotion and arranged on white cardstock placed on a red card
