Hey there -
My second post for the day. The Christmas card making is ramping up. I have only 5 left to make to fit my initial listing of those to be mailed long distances. Closer distance cards will come later.
There are four challenges that inspired these two cards, and each one will be visiting three of the challenges. The challenges are Time Out - Quick, Watercooler Wednesday Masculine, Christmas Kickstart and Lets Squash it!.
This card is going to Time out Quick, it took just a bit of time to emboss, use a silver pen to add highlights to the embossed image, add a scrap of silver wrapping paper on the left side and add the embossed sentiment. About 12 minutes in total. I have precut bases and panels and that really cuts down the time to make a card. This one will also visit Christmas Kick Start - The EF is called Ornaments on Side, and Let's Squash it.
This card is going to Watercooler Wednesday - Masculine, Christmas Kickstart and Lets Squash it. The embossing folder is Darices Holly Leaves. I ran a green inkpad over it, then added stickles to the berries and stamped and colored a small holly image to adorn my computer generated sentiment.

Two fab cards, Cat! Just love the simplicity and elegance of the silver ornaments on card one and the embossed & inked holly on card two!!

OMWord, those silver ornaments are gorgeous! And it's amazing how easily you added color to all those holly leaves and berries. It turned out absolutely perfect. I'd probably have ink all over the place. Cute sentiment with that one, too.
Well done for getting a clean image with the inked embossing folder, I always struggle when I try that way round. This is so effective. I love those simple silver baubles too xx
Two gorgeous cards, Cat! Love the silver and white - so classy, and the holly one is lovely too. Thanks for joining Gail and me at the two challenges, Jo x
Great job showcasing those techniques. So striking!
