hi there,
Congrats to the FS today; Barb aka bmbfield. Here is her gift bag I cased: Gift Bag Front by bmbfield at Splitcoaststampers
I changed the flowers to Christmas lights. I die-cut the lights and added glossy accents to make them shine and texture. I did some random embossing on the card front by using two different embossing folders and my rubber mallet. By using the rubber mallet, I was able to add embossing in just a few areas. I also moved the sentiment from the top to the bottom.
* I made this card for a special friend of mine that
is nearly blind. By added the glossy accents and
bright colours on the lights she will be able to see
them a little bit but wil be able to feel the texture
they have.

Always love the techniques you use Karen. The mix of embossing for the background is so creative. Love the glossy accents to give this pretty bright lights some shine.
