Today, at Merry Monday, Lesley and her team are looking for elegant Christmas cards. I lucked out and had these two embossed pieces on my desk already - just asking to be used. (Next week, I'm going to have to move away from Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla, 'cause I used them last week too)
Embossing is always elegant (and magical) so this wonderful Snow Swirled tree came out to be used. I had tried to stamp the greeting on a piece of ribbon, but it just got too messy, so I stamped a piece of Vanilla, cut the strip close to the words and then ran my craft scissors over the paper as though I were curling a piece of gift wrap ribbon. It breaks down the fibers wonderfully and they curve.
Now I'm off to add some paint to a canvas for another mixed media piece....we'll see how it turns out.
Hope your day is flowing along wonderfully - thanks for stopping by!

Red and gold is a very elegant combo, Joan. The Snow Swirled tree is one of my favourites and it looks fabulous embossed in gold. Love your sentiment flag as well. Thanks for playing at Merry Monday this week.
