Season's Greetings

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I am having so much fun creating Christmas cards to send to my friends and family this year.  I wanted to do it last year, but...I ran out of time.  This year I am definitely going to make it!!!

Here's a quick little card I put together using my Cuttlebug Birds and Swirls embossing folder.  I colored the birds and berries with a red copic marker and then added Glossy Accents to make 'em shine.  Then I used chalk to highlight the swirls in green.  The sentiment is a Studio G stamp that I heat embossed.  Pretty simple but I think it looks great!



This card is being entered in this week's challenges at the cuttlebug spot.  The challenge is to create a holiday card using your favorite embossing technique.
I am also entering this card into this week's challenge at the Play Date Cafe.  Here's this week's inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by!
