Golden Christmas

Hello one and all. I hope you are well this weekend. 

I have another Christmas card to share today, a little different because, this time, there is no coloured image just a heat embossed stamped sentiment,



I broke into my Gilded Winter pad for this one and used gold mirror board too. The Cheery Lynn poinsettia die was used again and the centre of the blooms had a squirt of Diamond stickles. I found the ribbon in my stash and that's it!! See I can do elegant when the mood takes me!!

The inspiration came from these challenges


Winter Wonderland - Gold Christmas
Daring Cardmakers - Sentimental
 (and I revisited heat embossing)
Crafty Cardmakers - It's only words

We are off to Weymouth today for a wander around the harbour.
See you soon xx
