The silver berries were done with a GKD Holiday Tapestry stamp, Delicata Silvery Shimmer & Silver Stickles. Really love the font of this HA sentiment from Christmas Rose. 
I still remember the first time I saw an embossed, stamped panel. It totally changes the look. Here I used SSS Refracted folder, but this is the debossed side. Yes, it was an oops, but turns out I like it! I entered challenges from Flickr.
Dawn of WP9 makes the most beautiful cards! I cased her Christmas card in February for a friendship card.
This time I made a Christmas card using Altenew watercolor markers like I did in the first card. The pine branch is from a very old Stampendous set that I don't think I'd ever used. The leafy branch is from PB's xmas sprig set. 
I used the same GKD berry stamp & added Christmas Red Stickles. Love this Uniko sentiment from Season of Beauty. I seldom use my cream colored cardstock, but glad I used it here. Made a huge difference to sponge the edges with DO vintage photo which I also used to stamp the sentiment. 
I added a couple cardstock layers to give the sentiment dimension without needing extra postage. It's interesting how different styles & designs appeal to all of us. This one I can't get out of my mind & will be using again, for sure! I'm entering SSS Wednesday.
Beautiful cards, Greta. I especially love the effect of the stamping and embossing on the first card. xx
ReplyDeleteHow effective the first looks with the panel embossed after stamping, gives a very pleasing finish.

Beautiful Christmas card Greta. Love the idea of the stamping then adding embossing.
ReplyDeleteTwo great Christmas cards and such pretty designs on both. I like how you CASed a Christmas card and turned it into a friend card. Great idea. It makes your stamps so much more versatile.
ReplyDeleteThree pretty cards, Greta! Love the simplicity of the first one and the wow factor the embossing adds!
ReplyDeleteI love the stamping and the embossing on he panel. Such a great way to get texture and makes the focal image super interesting. Lovely line up of cards, Greta.

ReplyDeleteGreta these are just so fabulous!! I am loving all the cars you have been making, so inspiring. Now I just need to make a card!! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of Christmas cards! I'm just loving the 1st one with the combination of those delicate leaves with the embossing! Great job on them all!
ReplyDeleteLove all 3 of these cards Greta. I never think to emboss stamped card, I don't know why as it works really well, as you have demonstrated here. I love the soft sepia on the third one too, it add elegance somehow xx
