Festive Words

This card pairs several different papers together to create a Christmas card. I always find it fun to see what combinations looks good together and, on this card, I used patterns from the Iconic Celebration collection and the Country Woods collection. There is also a piece of retired Brushed Gold specialty paper added to the mix.

The stamp set is called Festive Words and has some fun images which you can see below. I also added a piece of Basic White card stock to the inside of the card to make it easier for writing.

Brighten Your Day

I just love the deep images that are embossed with the Changing Leaves embossing folder and the bonus is that you can also die cut those embossed images if you so choose. While I did not do that on this card, I have played around with it a bit.
