I got this gorgeous set designed by Melanie Muenchinger (for Gina K) last year and finally used it. I had way too much fun with it. I made seven different card designs and finally had to make myself stop and go on to other sets!!! Here's one of them.
This is one of my favorite techniques: Emboss an image with white EP on Kraft cardstock and color with craft white ink and a blender pen. It gives such a soft, vellum-like effect. The pinecones, berries and borders are colored with a Versamarker.

This is really striking and elegant. Beautiful use of embossing on the sentiment against a darker background. But the way you embossed and colored on the kraft is really gorgeous. You inspire me with this one.

One really must do themselves a favor and click on every single one of your Christmas cards, though I'm not so sure I should look at any more of them, as I'm feeling a little faint. Beautiful!
