There's a positive plethora of Christmas challenges about at the moment so I'm going to need to up my festive cardmaking game. And this card is perfect for a speedy make.
The entire card front is made with a single embossing folder. I have to admit I wimped out and made it with separate card then stuck it to the front of my card blank just to make sure it was accurately positioned (that's called learning from previous mistakes). Before embossing it, I swiped purple ink all over the flat surface of the folder. After embossing, I dabbed gold wax over the lettering and, once trimmed to size, smeared a little of the gold wax around the edge of the card. I also added clear sparkly Stickles to the snowflakes and stars but the sparkle doesn't show up at all, probably because it's such a gloomy day that there's no sunshine to glint off it.
