Just sharing one of the many Christmas cards I've made recently a Christmas Market that's coming up. I'm going to add it to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge which is "Anything Goes".
I again pulled out an embossing folder and inked up the depressed side with some Pumice Stone distress ink before running it through the Big Shot. I then distressed the edges a little before mating it on some PTI cardstock and PTI patterned paper. I also added a little bit of Antique Linen distress ink over the embossed image for a more vintage feel.
I added a few gems, some twine from The Twinery and a little tag from PTI. Not my usual style but I wanted to use that PTI patterned paper, it's just so pretty.
So, how is your Sunday? Mine was wonderful and we got some beautiful blue skies as well.

Your letterpress technique turned out so beautifully, Bren! Love this!!
beautiful... love the soft grey of the inked background and that little pop of red from the twine!
Beautiful - I have not used this technique in a while and I can see I need to do it again!

I will have to try that technique with the ink and the folder again- every time I tried it was a total disaster! Love the subtle colors and the pretty pop of red :)
Beauty day here today- about time! We have had SO MUCH rain lately!
You have created a real vintage look to this pretty card Brenda!

Beautifully done, Brenda! I have not been able to get good results with this technique when I tried it. Love the vintage feel of your card.
