There's a new challenge out there,
It's all about embossing folders of which I have a LOT.
This looks like lots of fun Gail & Jo!
This is their first challenge...
I pulled out a piece of green foil cardstock then went through my embossing folders
to find something geometric.
I settled on an old Stampin' Up! embossing folder with diamonds,
embossed the foil and sanded the top a bit to highlight the raised design.
You can see the shine here.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Bonnie, this is such an eye catching and unique card! You came up with a perfect idea to meet the geometric and metallic challenge...and to put another Christmas card in your stash.
Great Christmas card with pretty shine and texture. I'm happy to see embossing folders coming in to their own after being shunted aside for newer products. I love using our older beloved purchases.
Oh my this is gorgeous! Thanks for the heads up about the new challenge, too...sounds like a fun one, I'm surprised I haven't seen it yet! Love the green metallic as well as that pretty EF!
Amazing foil card. I love all the shine. It sure pays to have lots of EF to choose from. I thought I had a lot, but can clearly see I need more! Heart Hugs, Col
Wow, what a great way to combine the challenge elements, Bonnie! I love your card and that green, metallic card is 'dah bomb'! Thanks for playing along in Challenge #1 at Lt's Squash It, Jo x
Wonderful Bonnie! Am so happy to finally leave a comment as well. I always love your work!

Gorgeous metallic tree, Bonnie, and I love the embossing in that pattern - so great!!
Wow! Do I ever like this! You are making me want to pull out my embossing folders for sure!
When I saw this new challenge, I immediately thought of you... you seem to have the perfect EF design for your cards! Sad this is another card that proves it! Your foiled diamond tree is shiny and gorgeous.
What a fabulous tree Bonnie in that pretty green foil, and love the way you have layered it and the embossed diamond pattern is gorgeous. The white wood panel background works well too. x
Wonderful Card Bonnie, love your embossing folder on the foil background :) it really makes me want to pull my EF out :)
Love your shiny embossed tree Bonnie, very cool to use the geometric design to decorate your tree.. hugs Robyn
What a geometric squashed stunner Bonnie - so dramatic!
Stay safe
Blessings

Such a pretty and unique green foil Christmas tree. Love your card. TFS
This sounds like a fun challenge Bonnie! I have so many embossing folders and need to start using them again. I loved them for a reason, but for some reason kinda' stopped using them. I love all the embossing you have going on on this card, the background wood is such a pretty back drop for that gorgeous embossed tree! Hugs, Brenda
Very pretty, and your "geometric" is very reminiscent of ornaments! Gorgeous card
What a cool way to do the tree! I love the background, too. I'll have to look into this challenge when I have some spare time. Sounds fun and I sure have plenty of embossing folders!
Lovely geometric tree and great design with the layering and the embossed background.
Wow what a creative and wonderful card x. Great use of the embossing folder and I like how you sanded part of it back x.
OMG...Gorgeous Shine on your geometric and metallic Christmas card design using an older SU EB folder, Bonnie. I love your CAS card design for your Gorgeous Shiny Christmas Tree. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
Wish we were neighbours, a cup of warm coffee and some dry embossing would be fun. You definitely have a beautiful collection of EF, best yet, you brilliantly know how to put them to their best use. A beautiful card.
A perfect take on that challenge... I love the tree and the trailing silver twine really sets it off.
The essence of Christmas elegance. I love how you brought out the silver elements on the Christmas tree thanks to rubbing. Great inspiration.
hugs,

I don't know how I missed this. Beautiful foil tree card Bonnie. The embossing looks so deep and adds los of dimension. What a fun new challenge! xx
What an eye-catching gorgeous card, Bonnie! I love the design and the shine of your foiled diamond tree!
Extra work of sanding a top a bit makes a big difference. The curly silver thread is a really nice touch.
