Materials used: Penny Black 'Christmas Cheer' 30-140, 'Winter Magic' 30-134 and 'A Bright Tomorrow' 30-130 transparent sets, Kraft and White Card, White Embossing Powder, Black and White Pigment ink, Faber Castell Design Memory Craft Brush Markers May Green 170 and Deep Scarlet Red 219, Ruby Red Liquid Pearls and Spellbinders nesting Squares.
The leaves from the Christmas Cheer set and the baubles from the A Bright Tomorrow set were stamped in white ink on Kraft card and embossed and then coloured using the Big Brush Pens. The sentiments from the Winter Magic Set were then stamped in black ink. This was then mounted onto a slightly larger square of white and then Kraft card. The main square card blank was embossed using the Spellbinders nesting squares and then the stamped topper was added. To finish off liquid pearl dots were added to the leaves.

Terrific with the kraft & white - especially with the embossing of the base card carrying the theme through to the toppers.

Excellent idea to use Kraft cardstock, especially framed on top of the white cardstock. I have to try the embossing technique I see it more and more, but yet to try it!
I really like the white embossing on these cards. Beautiful. Thanks for the chance to win.
Great holiday cards. I love the kraft and white together. Love how you framed it with the embossed square as well. Thank you for sharing.
