Congrats to LeisaJane! Some really wonderful stuff in her lovely gallery! I chose Live Your Dream to case. I kept the layout w/ the central flower and only using two colors, but I changed the images, made mine a Christmas card (yes, I'm still working on mine, lol), and used strips of embossing or Cuttlebugged strips for my bg.
I embossed the lg ornament on red c/s using the white ink and winter white powder and I used the lg ornament die to cut it out. The lg poinsettia was embossed w/ cranberry ink and the rosy sparkle powder, cut out and layered on top.
The largest bg strip is the poinsettia bg image embossed w/ the rosy sparkle powder. The others are strips of the Cuttlebug folder that I arranged across the front of my 4.25 x 5.5 white card.
Thanks so much for looking! I hope y'all had a very Merry Christmas! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Oh, WOW! This is such a gorgeous card! I love the rich red and the crisp white together...and all of that wonderful embossing,...again, WOW! I'm a big fan of your work and have been for some time. I can't tell you what an honor it is to have someone as talented as you to case a card of mine. I'm humbled and giddy at the same time. Thanks so much and Merry Christmas!!!
