This fortnights Christmas Card Club theme of two or more patterned papers was chosen by GranMargaret. This is a lovely challenge for me, as I usually use two PP on my Christmas cards.
I decided to go for a trio of DP and first adhered it to a thin white cardstock mat. I then embosssed that trio with a diamond designed EF. I framed that trio with a dark brown textured card mat just to make it stand out a bit on the scalloped card base.
The decoupaged image is another from that Wellington Bear card kit I bought just before Christmas. Matted that assembled image with a brown circle using my Spellbinders petite circle die. The crimson damask embossed card matted with brown card was already assembled in my stash, and it was just a matter of sorting through my snippets to find the green dotted swiss embossed card and the snippet of red metallic ribbon. Even the matted sentiment was already in my stash...left overs from another project.
Final step was a random wash of stickles, just to give a wee sparkle here and there...
