Card blank: 7" x 5" white silk
Stamp: Woodware 'Holly Tree'
Embossing: Crafts-Too 'Twinkle'
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Card: Red pearlescent, white silk
Paper: Hot off the Press' Cardmakers' Ultimate Pack - Floral', Wild Rose Studio 'Always and Forever'
Other: Diamond Stickles, Gold nailheads, Red heart button (upcycled from Christmas card), Wink of Stella
I embossed the white silk card and trimmed it to size. This was then layered onto red pearlescent card and attached to the card front. I glued green pattered paper from the Hot off the Press paper pack and red rose paper from the Wild Rose Studio paper pack onto thin card. I stamped the tree on the green paper and the bow, holly leaves and star on the red paper. I cut out the tree, pot and star and attached them to the card with Pinflair glue as they were attached onto the embossed background. The holly leaves were fussy cut, shaped and also attached with Pinflair glue. I added gold nailheads to the tree and outlined the swirls with Diamond Stickles. The holly leaves, pot, bow and star were highlighted with a Wink of Stella. To finish I attached the red heart button to the pot.

Nothing beats the traditional Christmas colours Kath and so striking against the white embossing.
I hope you have a good Sunday.

This is a gorgous christmas card Kath. Love the design with the embossed background and the super Woodware tree xx
What a pretty CAS card, Kath! I love this tree and the sweet, tiny stars embossed behind it! Thanks for sharing this with us at Merry Monday!
Hello, Kath! Thank you so much for your kind words and well wishes! So sorry I haven't been around to visit much - the flu took a lot out of me but I am finally on the mend, but have some stressful times ahead! I wanted to pop in one last time before I go to wish you a Happy Spring! I love your Christmas card! The sparkle looks gorgeous and I love the embossing! This just reminded me I'm going to fall behind in my Christmas cards while I'm gone! I guess I'll have to double up when I get back - I'll see you sometime in May!
Gorgeous CAS design Kath, I like your tree image too. Thanks for joining us this week at Merry Monday.
Ooh this is so pretty Kath
