I did this for the September WICKED challenge. I guess that I'm not very patriotic because I don't seem to use red, white and blue too much! I also figured that I'd use Just Beclause, since I'd mistakenly ordered it from the mini. I'm glad that I did, though, because it's ultra-cute!
I layered Rose Red, Night of Navy, Brocade Blue and White. I color embossed with the Textured Impressions Petals-a-Plenty folder with Brocade Blue, then die-cut it with the Top Note.

Ooh, fabulous card! I love the color embossing (great technique name too!) with this folder. And your layout is just wonderful! You worked these colors out great for a Christmas card. Thanks so much for playing along!

Great job. The balance here is really nice, and seems to stem not only from the layout but also from the color choices you made. I'm jealous of all of your toys!

Great job on your Christmas card. The colors are really terrific and your background--color emboss--is stunning. (Mods, color emboss should be a challenge!) Everything on your card coordinates so well with your images. I love this!
Thanks for sharing.

Excellent job coordinating the colors for the WICKED challenge! I never comment on anything, but this is my favorite of the Christmas cards I've seen this year and had to say so (for once).
