I made this CAS Christmas card for today's CAS249 Red And White Christmas challenge.
The background is created with the Ornate Background from ODBD stamped in red on white paper and the bottom is embossed with Sizzix x and o's embossing folder. I added some pearls in each x for texture and elegance.
The sentiment is from ODBD Poinsettia Wreath and is framed with a stamp from ODBD Ornate Borders and Flowers and cut out with the custom ODBD Ornate Borders and flowers die.
Thanks for looking!!!

How lovely is this card!!! You really created one elegant card, and I love every feature and component, and the way it all came together. The ornate background stamp you used from ODBD (LOVE that company and I have a number of their stamps, especially their bible verse collections, but also have some dies and matching stamps) looks SO amazing, at first I wondered if the paper was flocked, but then realized how you accomplished this look.
One of the most elegant cards I have seen in some time!!! And I love it that you knew when to stop adding embellishments, for (IMHO ) it is JUST right--card-making genius in my mind!!!
Thank you for sharing this outstanding card, and I look forward to the pleasure I know I will have to browse through and totally enjoy looking at all of your other submissions you have on your SCS gallery. I do hope that you are on the ODBD design team--just saw that you are indeed a design member--well-done Our Daily Bread Designs, I should have know, for some of the most beautiful cards I've ever seen have been on the ODBD blog from their design team . You have such an artistic flair, I love your work!!!
May you and those who are dear to you have a very blessed Christmas.
What a pleasure to see this gorgeous card, it's going in my favorites right now.
