Hello again, just a quick card today. I’m so glad Christmas is just around the corner, because I love anything's to do with the Holiday Season especially Snowmen. I collect them myself, so I couldn’t wait to work with this really cute stamp set. I cut/embossed the red foil with the Ornament die template, then embossed it with the Snowflake Impressabilities. I then removed the foil from the die’s, and lightly with a cotton ball went over it with some Copic Various Ink (0 Colorless Blender) until I removed enough red for the effect shown. After I colored the image on white cardstock with PrismaColor Pencils, I cut/embossed using the Classic Ovals Large #3, then went around the edge’s of both the oval and ornament using the 18KT Gold Leafing Pen. Add your cord, and bling, and attach to cardfront.
Thanks for visiting today – Linda ;)

Gorgeous card, Linda! I love the embossed ornament and cute snowman! The page layout for that adorable picture of your grandson is *fabulous*! The pennant style for the name and cut circles, matching the chair pattern, are really wonderful! What a cutie!

Oh my - this is amazing. Love how you used foil, impressabilites and lifted the red off the raised impressions. Truly magnificent.
