For this card I dry embossed three patterns and cut strips from each to attach to the gold foil panel. I heat embossed the verse with gold powder and matted that panel to gold foil. I finished this with a couple of holly branches and colored some pearls with a red Copic marker for the holly berries. Very hard to get a good photo with all the shine from the gold foil and embossing! After I finished this I kind of think I would like it better if I'd used vanilla rather than white card stock ~ next time!

Oh, so pretty! I love the white and gold; it is such an elegant look. Gorgeous stamped image and looks amazing in the gold embossing. Love the design with the dry embossed strips and gold foil. Great card!

Beautiful use of a large sentiment and lots of wonderful embossing patterns. The gold mat and gold embossing really makes the holly branch extra special!
