One of my four Christmas cards for the March challenge - Christmas village, including, doors, windows, houses.
The image was stamped and colored before covering it completely with wide Sookwang tape and burnishing with glitter. I used a large oval to die cut it, but changed my mind and fussy cut the image.
The background layer was embossed and attached to the card base. I attached the image and a banner with the sentiment (stamped in VersaMark and clear embossed).
As always, thanks for looking!

WOW, talk about attention to detail! Fussy cutting that frame and all that coloring! It's gorgeous and well worth the effort. Love the embossed background too.

That glitter burnished night sky caught my eye immediately!! What a great image to back up with the holly embossing in the background - such old fashioned goodness!!

Awesome night time scene, Jody. You do some amazing things with glitter. Unlike me, you seem to have the patience to let things dry before moving on to the next step in the process. Beautiful card.

You sure put a great new spin on this lovely winter scene. The sparkle feels like everything is glistening with ice. The fussy cut image onbthe embossed bg really turned out beautifully.
