I was inspired by both the ornaments and the teal color to create this Classy Elegant Christmas card.


I decided to ink up an embossing folder for my background and add a little silver embossing along the edges. The ornaments are Cottage Cutz die cuts embossed in silver with recessed accents colored with distress inks and embossed in iridescent embossing powder.

  • Ornament Die Cut (Cottage Cutz)
  • Hello Doily Dies (Sizzix)
