Tidings of Great Joy

 Denise's challenge for us today can be found here. IC1040 {11/8/2025} The Permanent Garden by card crazy at Splitcoaststampers
The inspiration for my card is here. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/68749403306/
The directions for Embossing Folder Stamping is here. Embossing Folder Stamping Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
I made the background as described in the tutorial. While the background was drying I stamped then colored the image with Derwent watercolor pencils. I used a blender pen to blend the colors. I added gold, silver and red glitter to the card with pens. I layered the image panel on black then layered the background panel on fresh freesia. This will go on a patient dinner tray for the holiday.

The embossed background adds such rich texture and depth, beautifully complementing the nativity focal point. Your use of glitter pens brings a festive sparkle without overwhelming the serene scene. I especially admire the thoughtful layering choices—black grounding the image and fresh freesia lifting the entire composition with gentle warmth. This card feels both joyful and reverent, a perfect gesture for a holiday dinner tray.

I love that you did this in such sweet colors. I don't tend to think of snowmen with yellow and pastels so, I really love that part a lot
