Snowflakes & Stardust * SC253

Photo Details

Poster: TexasGrammy

Here's a Christmas version of the SC253 sketch this week. I've just returned to Texas and am tickled to have found a great SCS challenge this evening! Since the project includes a dominance of gold heat embossing, I've kept additional embellishments to a minimum of 3 embossed brads for this one. Hope you enjoy!

WOW, what a gorgeous card! Is this tree stamp a two-step stamp, so you stamped and heat-embossed it one after the other in several colors, or how did you achieve the different embossing colors?

Thank you! It's a 3-step tree stamp ... and yes, each element was stamped and embossed separately!
