Pewter Embossed Doily

I just love this Hello Doily background stamp! I embossed the entire image with the new Pewter embossing powder, then added some Basic Pearls and an Antique Brad in the middle. The cardstock is Basic Grey. I decided to keep it like it is, with out a sentiment. There's just so much beauty to clutter it with more stuff...so I put the sentiment inside the card. I'm proud to say my family Christmas cards went in the mail today! So much better than a couple years ago when I mailed them after the 25th....LOL.

Hello, Doily Embossed Christmas card

 

How beautiful is this background stamp...Hello, Doily!  I embossed these with Gold embossing powder onto Chocolate Chip cardstock and added a Antique Brad in the middle. The sentiment is from Merry & Type, and the ribbon is from the Holiday Mini Catalogue...Early Espresso Quilted Satin ribbon. I also used the Colour Spritzer tool with Early Espresso Marker and added some specks in the background. 

Well, Christmas is only 11 days away, and still so much to do! I'm working on alot of gifts and goodies right now, so I'll share them soon with you all!  Here's a few photos I took on a walk in the snow the other day....

Christmas BLING!

This card is definitely bling-tastic!

I wanted to crack open my new Pewter Embossing Powder, and thought it would look nice on Basic Grey cardstock, so I stamped Versa Mark onto my card and powdered/heat tooled it with the beautiful ornament stamp from the Merry & Type stamp set. The sentiment is also from this set, which I stamped with just plan Versa Mark. The bling continues with some Basic Rhinestones and Silver Glimmer paper, which I punched with the Pinking Heart Border punch.
