The trend with many cards this year is warm, rich colours; I decided to follow this with a thank you card.
Used: Winter Berries 4273K, Diamond Pattern 40-169, Big Thanks 107D (sorry after using this stamp I realised it had been discontinued) and Summer Sun 17-002.
* Using the direct to paper technique ink a piece of white card with Seedless Preserves distress ink.
* Stamp and emboss diamond pattern with Wow glitter powder, emboss summer sun with an embossing folder (I think this one is a Sizzix one) and distress raised areas with Wild Honey distress ink.
* Cut a circle with Spellbinders Circle die and stamp tree with Vintage Sepia ink. Add red stickles and various colours of liquid pearl dots to the tree. Add a twine bow to the trunk.
* Stamp greeting and cut using spellbinders label (tip: to get the V both ends just turn around the card and run through the machine again).
*Adhere all elements to card blank and cover joins with ribbon.
I have a few more last minute Christmas cards to share with you this weekend before the big day, so until my next post .........

Cathy you accented every one of those dots on the tree - amazing! Happy Holidays my friend!
