Simple Embossed Christmas card

 

Good Monday Morning Ladies, 

What a wet & windy weekend,  not a great way to end November!   The Wildlife Park was undecided at 8am as to whether it was going to open due to high winds, the girls got ready and left the house regardless only to find a tree down up the hill from us, so they turned round and went an alternative route which was longer but that had a tree down too!  So they came home and called in, I would have preferred them to stay home because we live out in the country surrounded by huge trees,  had they left 5 minutes earlier this morning that first huge tree could have landed on them,  anyway they were told the park was open and to make their way in.  Now bearing in mind all staff had taken risks to get in, they only allowed E-ticket holders and they had sold 52 tickets,  we had constant torrential rain locally and extreme winds, I highly doubt that anyone would have gone for a stroll around a Wildlife park, to look at animals most of which were couped up in their indoor enclosure.  I am a huge champion of the park but Yesterday I think they were stupid,  it must have cost more in staff wages than they made.  I couldn't relax until they were home.  Rant over! 

Today's card was quite simple to make, I made a card base then added a mat of another piece of Very Vanilla card embossed this time,  I then took two 2 × 5 inch pieces of patterned paper (SU Seasons of Green & Gold) I love it 😍.  I wanted to add swag tails to the two pieces so the easiest way I know is to use a square die.. 

So simple and you can cut a few layers at a time. I then embossed these two pieces with the same folder.

I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive and clear embossed it, I then die cut it and matted it onto a layer of gold.

I assembled the card finishing with the sentiment label, adding 3 gold glitter gems to finish the card.

I Hope that you all have a great start to the week,  

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra xxx
