I enjoyed using the CAS Colours & Sketches sketch for my birthday card so thought I would use the same sketch for a Christmas card.

To make this card I used:
C6 white matt card blank
Memory Box 'Traditional Ornament' and 'Lydia Ornament' dies
Woodware 'Delightful Dangles - Christmas Tree' sentiment stamp
Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
Sizzix 'Dots' embossing folder
Snippets of white matt card, dark brown pearlescent card and gold mirri
I trimmed a snippet of white card to a width of 1.5cm and cut it slightly narrower than the card blank before embossing it with the dots embossing folder. I placed the card blank in my MISTI with the embossed strip on top so I could wee where to place the sentiment. I removed the strip of card and stamped the sentiment with dark brown ink before embossing it with clear embossing powder. I then attached the embossed strip above the sentiment. I die cut the Traditional Ornament from dark brown pearlescent card and the Lydia Ornament from gold mirri. The fancy die cut was embossed before being layered onto the brown ornament before being attached to the embossed strip.
