Holiday Trio

This entry for Beccy's Place Sixth Annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge is for the color challenge on Day 5. I love the rich colors in this palette which worked perfectly with a freebie image from Beccy's Place named "Berry Wreath" [Find it here- beccysplace.blogspot.com/2010/12/berry-wreath.html]

The yummy dark brown ribbon is upcycled from a gift box of Godiva Chocolates. [Which my sweet hubby gave me a while ago. The chocolates are long gone but the ribbon was tucked away in my stash.]  Sentiments are both from Beccy's Place digi set "The Nativity."

The new Simon Says Wednesday challenge is named "All That Glitters is Gold." I knew that I wanted to do gold embossing so pulled out an Embossing Arts "Joy" stamp that always gives a nice clear impression. Stamped it with gold pigment ink on vellum, heated then trimmed finished sentiment with Fiskars decorative scizzors. Added a scrap of white and gold ribbon and a piece of a corrugated gold paper from my stash [have had it since 2000 or 2001 so don't have a clue about the company.] The inside sentiment is computer generated.

Used three rubber stamps that I pulled apart many years ago to use with acrylic blocks to make this card.  I think they are from an old [like early 2000 old] Stampin Up set.  Stamped the front image and sentiment on kraft cardstock with dark brown ink. Added a bit of color with chalks, trimmed the edges with a Fiskars deco edge scissors and added a little distressing with brown ink. Attached a bit of the dark brown [Godiva Chocolate box] ribbon across two corners, added a bit of red raffia and metal leaf charms that I've had in my stash forever. Stamped another of the SU images on a scrap for the inside of the card. Colored it with chalks, trimmed and layered it. The inside sentiment is from Power Poppy's digi set named "Autumn Opulence."
