I'm trying my hand at some simpler versions for Christmas cards as I'm running out of time to get my goal list done. Yes, Anne Ryan, here's ANOTHER Christmas card! She's been complaining about all my Christmas cards. She'd better be nice or she won't get hers!! LOL!!
.I used the dove in the Wish For Peace Stamp Set-SU-. I inked him in Night of Navy and glittered him up quite a bit.
.I embossed the image panel with swirls ef and matted on Night of Navy Card Stock.
.Then on a piece of textured White Card stock where I embossed with Swiss Dots EF about 3/4 of the panel.
.Stamped my Night of Navy Sentiment with the Stamp-a-majig.
.I added a snowflake to the right corner of the image and sparkled it up with a sparkly silver brad sent to me by the one and only BENZI~thanks Brenda~.
.I added 2 more sparkly silver brads to either side of the sentiment - compliments of Benzi again.
.I used some navy blue ribbon on the seam and carried the navy blue ribbon onto the inside bottom of the card.
And, that's all folks!!! Thanks so much for taking a visit here and if you have a moment, let me know what you think. That is, except Anne Ryan, if she's going to complain about me making ANOTHER Christmas card!! LOL!

So lovely and elegant. I have always liked navy & white for holiday cards. Like the sparkliness, the different textures and that pretty snowflake punch!

Love your mix of the two embossing folders on this one, Pam. I've got to remember to do this - stamp an image and then run it through an embossing folder. It looks so darn cool!

Your card is so so pretty.
