Hello Stampers~
Have you been enjoying Flourishes sneak peeks this week? The sets are fabulous, as always, aren't they? Today's set is a beautiful rendition of the first Christmas, called The First Noel.
For my card, I used Flourishes Classic Ivory card stock, and this month's 123 Create Kit. I am somewhat obsessed with fancy card borders, whether it be at the bottom or down the sides. The pretty border on today's card was created with Spellbinders Classic Petal Edgeabilities Dies. The image was embossed in a sparkly embossing powder from JudiKins that I've had kicking around forever! Gosh, when I first started stamping nearly 15 years ago, all I did was emboss! Now I hardly ever touch my powders. I forget they're there! This is the perfect image for embossing...allows you to make a quick card that still has some pizzazz. :-)
The papers, ribbon, and pearls that I used all came from Flourishes brand new 123 Create Kit. Check it out:
Isn't that a beauty?! I did include one embellishment on my card that doesn't come in the kit, but that you CAN get in the Flourishes store... Antique Heirloom Buttons. I added just one to my card, and gave it some touches of gold with a Zig Gold Painty Pen. The card size is 5-1/4" square.
Stop by the rest of the design team blogs to check out their fabulous creations with today's stamp set.
