My neighbour was clearing out and gave me two rolls of wallpaper, a gorgeous shimmery gold and one in silver too. Its perfect for using on my cards as it is a really good quality with a gorgeous elegant look. I decided to have a go at embossing in gold on it and it worked beautifully with no buckling. I embossed some extra leaves and cut them out also adding some vellum poinsettias. The stamp set is from Simon Says and the die is Heffy Doodles. Lastly I added some gold Nuvo drops.
I am adding this card to the current Simon Says Flickr Group challenge "Merry Making".
My next card is a shaker made using Simon Says dies and Festive Tree stamp, the little penguin is from a set by Heffy Doodle called "Wanna Build a Snowman". I have added lots of gold and silver stars in the shaker window.
I will also add this card to the Simon Says Flickr Group challenge and also the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge "Starry Starry Night".
The weather is still sop gloomy here so I am spending lots of time in my craft room getting more Christmas cards done. I am seeing my daughter this week and she is bound to raid my stash lol!!
Hugs
Sally
