Starry Tree Elegance

Hello, my friends.

How are you?

I've been crazy, busy as I'm sure you are too.

Vanilla and embossed gold is one of my favorite combinations for Christmas cards.


I must have tried over 20 times to get a good photo of this card.  
If I caught the shine it was blurry.
All the stamping is embossed with gold.
And the little ornaments are shiny, flat stickers so this is perfect for mailing!

This is a similar card that we did in one of my card classes.

Somehow I managed to get a better photo of this one.


I'll take it over to Penny Black Saturday where the challenge is
WINTER OR CHRISTMAS

and

Penny Black and More Challenge
CAS





Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Beautiful Bonnie, I love the simplicity of the embossed image and those spectacular gems. Great card for your card class.

Classy looking card -- gold and vanilla combo a winner! The flat shiny stickers add just the right bling touch.

Stunning!

Fabulous tree with just the right amount of bling, Bonnie.

Two gorgeous cards - I love the bits of bling on the beautiful trees! I agree, it's very hard to photograph cards with shiny gold on them!

Both your gold embossed trees are so gorgeous, Bonnie. TFS the 2nd photo so we could see all the shine and glitter. I have some of those stickers and never think to use them. Thanks for the reminder. Happy Holidays my friend. Hugs

Have a great weekend.

This is gorgeous, Bonnie! Love the embossed gold and don't think anyone can photograph it effectively. Love that stamp and go it a while ago but so far no time to play. Thanks for the inspiration!

Golden stamping makes this card extremely elegant. I love small colorful trinkets, decorate your Christmas tree wonderfully. Beautiful Christmas card, Bonnie!
Hugs,

Gorgeous gold tree cards, Bonnie! I hear you - I always have hard time to take pictures of anything metallic/shimmery/shiny. :-)
I love the vanilla and gold color combo and the dynamic flow of the tree. Using shiny, flat stickers is a great idea for mailing. I didn't know there were things like that. Hideko xx

This tree is so elegant, and it's lovely done with the embossing as you've done on this pretty card. Still need to add this one to my stash. The gold is just so graceful to show off the shape of this tree. TFS

Greta said...

Elegant is my favorite style of cards & yours is a stunner, Bonnie! I have that stamp on my wishlist--just so gorgeous! So glad you joined us at PBSC!

This gold embossed tree is gorgeous Bonnie with just the differently coloured gems and the gold layer, this works perfectly with the cream card. x
