I thought I'd try a new challenge over at
Here is the lovely design photo we were to follow for the challenge.
Hi Friends!
Hope your weekend is going well! This particular design photo caught my eye. Many times I do not follow designs for I nearly always end up changing my card. But, this card went together fairly easy. I heat embossed the Christmas tree and inked up edges of paper. I had a little trouble with the embossing powder. I used a different type and it didn't adhere well at all. So, I went looking in my stash and found the good stuff!:-) I had fun with the punch, too! I just love the elegant look of this particular punch. Why not go over and check out the lovely creations from the design team. You won't be disappointed!
Thanks so much for taking time to drop by today! Take care and hugs!!:-))
