Hello, it's Rudolph Day again- can't believe how fast they come round! I'm hoping to get ahead a bit with my cards this year- don't want a repeat of 2025, very much a last minute panic. After saying this, the card I am sharing is one of last year's (yep, a last minute one!)
A previously made background using Distress inks, brushos and gold mica spray, the tree, a new stamp from Pink Ink (a bargain buy on ebay!), stamped and embossed in white and placed inside a die cut frame. The sentiment is die cut using dies from 2 different sets. It was quick to make as I'd already made the background.
Thanks for visiting
Have a good week
Chris

ReplyDeleteAn absolutely gorgeous Christmas card. Love the embossed tree and the gold frame on top of your beautiful background xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific card, the background really makes the tree "ping". Thank you for sharing at We Love Stamping. Sarah
ReplyDeleteThat background is gorgeous and makes the whole thing very magical Chris. I promised I would start early but nothing yet lol.
ReplyDeleteI love this tree on this background Chris!
ReplyDeleteThe inky background gives the whole design such richness, and the white‑embossed tree sits so elegantly against those greens. The gold mica adds a beautiful shimmer that feels festive without being overpowering, and the framed layout pulls everything together with real polish. A wonderfully striking card, especially for a so‑called last‑minute make.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful background andembossing. Thank you so much for entering our challenge at CRAFT Challenge, looking forward to see you again next challenge.
