This card again shows the circular embossing technique using a Cuttlebug folder . . . look familiar? This was actually the first circle I cut, but since the pattern was a little more subtle in the foil, I set the sample aside and made another earlier week. Coming back around to this beautiful foil, I thought it would look marvelous with my favorite set – Poinsettia and Boxwood, which is one of the newly released sets from Flourishes for October. I selected the larger of two wreaths in the set and chose to stack the wreaths. It adds a splash of white in the center of the card and balances things out a bit. For the sentiment I went back to the Holiday Greetings set from Flourishes.
Supplies:
Stamps: Flourishes – Poinsettia and Boxwood, Holiday Greetings
Paper: Green Foil, Gold Foil, 140lb Watercolor,
Ink: Versamark, Adirondack Pesto
Accessories: Red Crystals, Brads, Sizzlit Architectural Accents, Ribbon, Brads, Gold Embossing Powder.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I’ve enjoyed your company!!

Ques…how do you send something like this in the mail?? I have several I have made but the bow keeps them from being able to go in the mail easily.
Fabulous job!

Another beautiful card. When you cannot find foil – make your own. Glue kitchen foil on card stock and colour with alcohol inks!
