The HA Leaf and Floral background has been embossed in gold before adding my poinsettia flower which has been dry embossed using a herringbone folder. Quite a simple card but quite a thick one to post , to cut my postage down this year I am trying to make as many flat cards as I can. Here is one using the Winter Town a favourite of mine.
Here is another using the same stamp I love the water colour effect you get when spritzing the (Distressed) inked stamp with water.
There seems to be a bit of a blue theme going on at the moment with my Christmas cards.,
Hope you are having a great weekend, we are having the perfect Autumnal day here at the moment, blue sky but chilly, I love days like this. Hubby and I have been for a long walk over the common, just perfect..

I love them all! And I was so excited to see your name while I was looking through my digi PC the other day :) It's a gorgeous card! Embossing the poinsettia layers really makes it pop - although I'd want to save it for hand-delivery too :)
Love that Winter Town stamp - so pretty, and it looks fabulous CAS or dressed up!
Sally, I was so excited when I saw your card in this issue! Big congrats on your first pub!! Yippee! The card is gorgeous and I loved how they titled it, "Golden Peace Card!"
Your other two cards are so beautiful too! I love blue for Christmas! :)

They are all gorgeous!!! The first one is so beautiful, no wonder it was published! And I love the blue theme on your Christmas cards. I am gonna use blue for sure, thanks for the inspiration!
Congrats Sally.
I love your gold background, but the poinsettia certainly makes the card pop.
My Dad would love the winter town card, he always asks for a scenic card at Christmas. Will have to check out the stamp.
Love the look of the magazine so maybe a subscription will go on my Christmas 'wish list'! Shame its not available in UK shops.
Love Sheila x
