Merry Christmas
It's time for the Flourishes December release & that means a challenge with the prize of winning the entire release! The sketches didn't look complicated, but still took me awhile to come up with something. I started by sponging cardstock I cut at angles using Distress Ink festive berries & evergreen bough. Then I randomly stamped the holly from Flourishes Peace & Joy using silver Brilliance, dry embossed it with dots & sprayed it with Glimmer Mist.
The ornament from the same set was black embossed on vellum & colored on the back using an applicator & the same inks. The sentiment is from another of their sets called A Gift for You. The close up
gives you an idea of the pretty shimmer. This is pretty flat, so will be good to mail. So glad you took time to come by.

Your BG is lovely Greta. The shine, dry embossing and the stamping make it very rich.
