I know that I am a few days late, but I do hope your 2013 is off to a great start.
Though I never get tired of making Christmas cards, it is time to move on to other things. My club meets next Friday, so I have been working on lots of card ideas. Sometimes it is hard to decide just what I most want to do. So many ideas, so little time :o)
I love this design with its contrasts of color and texture. My Big Shot made it easy and fast.
Sending the Whisper White card front through the Big Shot using the Lacy Brocade embossing folder (127819) gives it such a touch of elegance. The red mat was cut from Real Red core'dinations card stock (new - 129320) using a die from our Apothecary Accents framelits set (127003), embossed with Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder (117335), then lightly sanded with our Stampin' Sanding Block (129367).
For the sentiment tag Occasions Alphabet (123598) in Real Red classic ink (126949) on a scrap of Whisper White card stock (100730) and cutting out with the Large Oval Punch (119855); layer onto Brushed Gold card stock (102935) shape-cut suing the another Apothecary Accents framelit. Mount using Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).
