This is a very simple card using some textured white and gold card stock. The image and sentiment are from Snow Swirled and one of my all time favorites. I heat embossed the tree and sentiment in gold and then added a few small pearls. The ribbon (although it looks brown in the photo) is also gold. This was NOT what I started off to do I'm afraid. I had the entire card pictured in my mind - which is very rare - and was going to add a small bow with some gold cord in the corner. I got the card completed and realized I had no gold cord!! I have three rolls of silver, but no gold could be found - so I used the ribbon instead.
I'll enter this in the challenge at Less is More (Gold) and 2 Sisters Challenge (Christmas in July with Bonus of no red or green).
Thanks for stopping by...............I'll be back in the morning with my Shopping Our Stash and {Pin{spirational posts - so be sure and check back them.
