Let me just say that using colored embossing powder intimidates me. I like to use white or some neutral sparkles. That way you can't see my mistakes! And embossing several different colors together? Well, not something I really ever do! BUT listening to Melissa Phillips's Make It Monday tutorial this week really helped me! She is such a good teacher. You can learn from her too!
I decided to use PTI Mini Blooms, Bigger Blooms, and Peaceful Pine Cones to make a little wreath.
I stamped and embossed each color separately just like Melissa showed us.
I loved the way she put a light patterned paper underneath the vellum so I did the same. Melissa also gave a great tip in the video for adhering your vellum to your card so the glue doesn't show!
I added some punched trim, a snowflake, die cut flowers, and some pearls…then I was done!
"Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!" - Charles Dickens
