I was kind of in a Christmas card-making mood yesterday so made another one as well. I used some free papers from a magazine, and added a strip of paper from a paint sample booklet. Embossed the whole thing with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and embellished with a snowflake die by Spellbinders and some silver bakers twine. I have quite a few magazine freebie papers and find that embossing helps give the glossy papers more body and make them look better.

Oh, yes....I DO like an embossed background for giving a nice textured and finished look. It really takes the patterned paper up a notch, in my opinion. I love this beautiful sentiment....gorgeous font. The twine and pretty snowflake are lovely, too.

I first want to apologize for taking so long to comment. I have been on holidays and I love looking at everyone's entries so I told the design team that I would respond to my quota of entries once I returned. You are right, the embossing puts the card over the top. Thank you for showing us your patterned papers at Crafty Hazel Nut's Patterned Paper Monthly Challenge - Myrna DT
