'O Christmas Tree

I love heat embossing, but for some reason I stopped using that technique for quite some time. Then, a couple of weeks ago, I pulled out my VersaMark ink pad and gold embossing powder and had a great old time. So I remembered how much fun it was and this time used a beautiful vintage collage stamp by Red Lead to make this Christmas card. The embossing folder was given to me so I have no idea who makes it. I heat embossed the image with gold powder by Stampendous and added some sparkly metallic gold and white twine by The Ribbon Resource. This came together so quickly that I may use this for my main Christmas card this year. I love the white and gold neutral color combo and the two kinds of embossing.
Mod Squad, All that Glitters. I used shiny, sparkling gold embossing powder and twine with metallic gold elements
