I'm so excited to share my card with you today. Since we are at the end of the typical Christmas card making "season", I wanted to share something that is not only quick and easy to make - great for those last minute ones - but can also be used for several other occasions.
I paired our previously released Be Merry Sentiments set with our new Feathers & Florals stamp set. I used two of the images from Feathers & Florals and stamped them in a circle, radiating out from a center point, and then alternated heat embossing them in silver and gold.
For this card I chose to add the "sending love" sentiment on a die cut circle, but you could swap out the sentiment for any of the many included in Be Merry Sentiments or even the new Bold Banner Greetings stamp set.
I just love the sparkle and shine of the metallic embossing powders against that crisp white.
