A simple, but very sparkly Dry Embossed Xmas card using my Cuddlebug "Lace Tree" Embossing Folder. I dry EB onto Flourishes Crystal Clear Cardstock, which is a heavy window sheet. Of course the image turns white because the EB breaks the fibers of the acetate. What a great effect with colored CS behind the image. I just added gold and red rhinestones, gold brads to attach the image and a sentiment tag. I will make a few more trying diff. colors of CS. This card really twinkles in the sunlight and at night in artificial light :-)
Hooray....more Xmas cards done :-) Enjoy and TFL

Oh, Nancy! This is just outstanding! I LOVE it!! The embossed heavy acetate is just beautiful over the cardstock! The added rhinestones put it right over the top! Well done my friend! I may have to try a couple, as I have this folder, too!

OMG--I had no idea you could do that with embossing folders and window acetate! What a beautiful, stunning card. I can't believe how much you've branched out (no pun intended) in your style, new techniques, color combos, etc. You go, girl!
