These are gorgeous, Bonnie. Lovely cards that make me want to kiss someone!
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing wonderful results from your massive embossing folder stash, Bonnie. ;) They add so much texture to the lovely gold and silver elements on your cards.
ReplyDeleteYou really have such a great eye for design, Bon. These are both so eye-popping and the texture makes me want to caress them through my monitor! Just stunning - especially embossing the gold leaves after cutting them! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeletep.s. Thanks for playing in the Krafty Chicks challenge! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI would be hard pressed to pick a favorite between these two beauties! They're both marvleous, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Bonnie! Love both these cards, so elegant!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful use of the gold and silver! I love both cards! They are so elegant. Love the texture on the two card bases, the use of the embossed strip on the first and the thin frame and twine on the second.
ReplyDeleteTwo different but equally beautiful dies featuring mistletoe and I love both designs Bonnie. The first is so elegant with the leaf embossing and the soft white of the background embossed card, and the second is lovely and glittery with the frame mistletoe berries and twine, and then the textured gold of the mistletoe itself, and more beautiful embossing on the background card...gorgeous! x
ReplyDeleteDefinitely two "WOW" cards! Love the silver and gold and all the glitter and shimmer on them. You do have a remarkable talent for design! These no doubt will be cased! I for one must get those dies!
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful and very elegant Christmas cards in gold and silver. I like both designs.

ReplyDeleteBoth cards are stunning and elegant, Bonnie! It's so interesting to see the smooth metallic die-cut and the textured metallic due-cut have a totally different feeling.
