I had to laugh last week when a couple of other team members commented on how hard it was to photograph the Metallic Specialty Paper. Well this week I found out for myself!
I've always thought that Navy and Gold are very elegant for Christmas and thought it would work perfectly for the Bright Baubles bundle. I started by die cutting some Night of Navy cardstock for the backing of the bauble. I then die cut the intricate design using the Gold Specialty Paper. This was then mounted on apiece of Shimmery White cardstock that had been embossed using one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders which I might add was equally as hard to capture in the photograph.
I then added a couple of "peeper" strips of the same Gold paper to the edges.
The sentiment is from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and it has been embossed with Gold embossing powder and then die cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle dies. Finally if there wasn't enough bling then a couple of Brushed Metallic Dots in Gold and a bow using the Gold Shimmer ribbon.

I really love this elegant colour combo (not one I'd thought of for Christmas, but it is BEAUTIFUL!) with the gorgeous bauble, T. The embossing of the Shimmery White panel is a really lovely touch, too. Such a nice card, my friend.
