You know how a week before Thanksgiving you realize how very short your stack of Christmas cards is? This week our Tea Potter card is to be a Christmas one...as a RAK to tickle a Tea Potter. I hope that one of them likes this.
I stamped the Recollections flourish in Versamark on BG Nordic Holiday and cut with the Nestie 2011 Heirloom Ornament. Heat embossed with gold EP. Pierced along the edges and added a layer of pearls. Ran some gold thread through and gilded the top with a gold gel pen. Stamped the Inkadinkado sentiment in Versamark on more BG, matted, and added the ornament. Ran a Neenah natural white card through the LSC EF and mounted the ornament panel. PT - 1
Thanks you so much for looking. Happy Birthday, Sallie!! Have a peaceful day.

Wow Marie, this is stunning! So glad I saw this card posted....I was just about to sign off and go to bed! All of the lovely gold details and beading really give this an heirloom feel and I am sure it will be a keepsake for someone special! Miss chatting with you. Take care!

There are some gorgeous elegant cards around this week - this is certainly in there. I love the richness of the gold embossing, perfect for a touch of Christmas luxury.
