Christmas With A Twist

Good Morning!  Thanks for joining me today. 

Flourishes has a great little Challenge going on, Christmas With A Twist, to make a Christmas card without using the traditional red or green.  With so many ink and embossing powder options out there these days, this type of Challenge is becoming easier and easier. 


I used the Holiday Topiaries set from Flourishes.  This is a beautifully detailed Christmas Tree perfect for gold embossing.  I embossed the image on Wine With Everything card stock from Gina K Designs.  The gold embossing and the rich color of the card stock seem like they were just made for each other.  I also did a gold embossed trim around the layering piece.  Added a little bit of paper piercing in the corners with gold adhesive pearls and a small gold trimmed ribbon.

 
 
Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you find some time today to get inky!
 
ENJOY~~
