For this week's card I decided to open up some new DSP, Ever Eden that is currently available for order as part of the Eden's Garden Collection. Although it is not designed to be used for Christmas the colours lend themselves to being used just for that.
The DSP features Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Gold. I started by embossing the paper using the always favourite Tasteful Textile embossing folder. I actually think that is has made the gold elements in the paper even brighter. I then mounted this paper on Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen cardstock.
The sentiment is from the Tidings and Trimmings stamp set and I have embossed it in gold to tie in with the paper. This has been die cut using one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies and then mounted on a piece of the In Colour DSP that has also been die cut using a die from the same set. I have also used some Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent ribbon around the width of the card. I have also die cut some leaves and sprigs also from the Christmas Trimmings dies using Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Brushed Metallic cardstock. Finally a few Gilded Gems for some added gold bling.

Lovely card, Theresa. This suite sure lend itself to create beautiful Christmas cards! With the colours in this DSP and the gold accents, it really is gorgeous and so it your card design.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely, elegant, card, T. I agree, the dry-embossing of the background paper has brought out the gold elements beautifully! Love the addition of the plaid paper. I think these products are perfect for Christmas, and you've done a gorgeous job with your card. x
ReplyDeleteA delightful card Theresa. I love this DSP and it is gorgeous on your Christmas card. Your details of double layer of ribbon, the die cut leaves and springs and embossing all work together beautifully. Xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Theresa using this DSP. The gold accents all tie in nicely with the different greens.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, Theresa, this DSP works perfectly on your wonderful Christmas card. The gold embossing on the sentiment really brings it all together beautifully.
