Not only have I finished my August quota of Christmas cards but I've used a new-to-me set which I got on eBay this week.
A2 base.
Background was first stamped with the pine bough in Pine Needles and embossed. Then I sponged the whole card with Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. I stamped French Script with Vintage Photo, then stitched round the edges with a metallic thread.
Stamped the sentiment with black and embossed with clear EP. Stamped the mistletoe with Versafine Olympia Green and embossed. I added berries with red and white Liquid Pearls.
Ornament was stamped with ColorBox Pigment Scarlet, clear embossed and then wiped over with Brilliance Gold. I fixed it with a gold brad and gold cord, sticking it up on foam tape.

Very nice card! So glad you indicated the steps you took to make it. I have some liquid pearls that I've never used. I'll have to try it ... such a nice effect.

This is one very pretty card. I love the liquid pearls you added to the branches. It's nice to hear that you are on track making your Christmas cards. You're an organized person. Aren't you? tfs
