This is for the Inspiration Challenge presented by Brenda and the Color Challenge this week hosted by Pam. The colors are listed under the paper description and desert is to use sparkle.
I was inspired by one of the pictures Brenda shared for the vine and berries (no bird): Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I am very low on Very Vanilla cardstock with no good alternative. In my stash, I found this card base with the gold ribbon thread through two holes. I have had it for years but never used it and could not toss it. It sure came in handy today. To give the leaves more texture, I used the stamp kissing technique with the Canvas background stamp. The sentiment is gold heat embossed and double die-cut to get a rectangle instead of a square. I love hearts, so I embellished with two embossed die-cut hearts. For dessert I added Wink of Stella glitter pen to the berries & leaves and the gold ribbon has some sparkle to it.
Beautiful color combo. Excellent inspiration. TFL

I looked at this and remembered that I once had that pretty berry and vine stamp; one of the stamps I bought in my early years of stamping. I had completely forgotten about it and how I wish I still had it! It is such a pretty image, especially "kisssed" with the Canvas backgrounder. It's so wonderful to see older, beautiful images used. This is a beautiful traditional Christmas card.

Love the needlepoint look of your flourishing leaves and the sheen added to your berries. Gold embossed sentiment is the perfect add to combine with your gold glitzy ribbon trim. A LOVELY card!
