Elegant Christmas Card

I enjoyed creating this elegant Christmas Card and find it very striking. Combining the Shepherd’s Care stamp set along with the Delicate Pines dies worked beautifully. In addition, gold foil always adds a touch of elegance to any project.

Gaining inspiration from Bree Kathleen’s card, I changed up several elements including the sentiment, embossing folder, ribbon, and orientation. Because of the squares and circles used in the card, I determined that a bookbinding layout would be the perfect way to showcase the gorgeous circular sentiment.
