Our challenge this week by given by marleygo aka Lesley, to make an all white card with a bit of gold and a bit of lace. I dry embossed the Background with the new Holiday Frame, then embossed gold on the greeting and the image - my "lace" is the lacy edged gold around the sentiment and image - I know - I cheated!! I was trying to keep my card as CAS as possible so it would not take away from the beauty of the gold and embossing.
If you would like to join us for this challenge, please put TSC0831 in your keywords - we would love to see what you come up with!!
Thanks for looking!

Pretty and elegant, Greenie. I love this image from the SU set - and it really embossed well. Your border resembles lace and looks lovely as well! Beautiful Christmas card!

Greenie, this is exquisite looking. I love gold and that EF is great (my turn to say, hmmm, haven't seen this one, now I need to go shopping) - I'd say you did great on this CAS challenge, one can never have too much gold!!!
