Elegant Christmas

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Here's a quick and easy card with a NBUS stamp that has been waiting for ink
far too long!


I stamped on red cardstock with Encore Gold ink and heat embossed.

I repeated the process with the sentiment.

Then I inked a bit around the edges to draw the eye inward.

Challenges:
Peace on Earth Christmas - Inspired by all that red
Krafty Chicks - Christmas
NBUS #56 - Never Before Used Schtuff - Tapestry Stamp


  





Card Recipe 
Stamps:  Holiday Tapestry (GKD)
Ink:   Encore Gold, Cherry Cobbler
Paper:  Real Red, Gold Foil 
Other:  Gold EP  


Enjoy!
