I'm starting to really like heat embossing again, I think because I'm using a better embossing powder - Zing. This gold is so much shinier than the other gold I have and really makes a difference in the appearance.
The card base for this is Pinefeather cardstock, a dark, forest like green (I know it's hard to tell from the picture). On cream cardstock, I stamped the pine cone branches all around the outside in Versamark ink, sprinkled them with gold embossing powder and used my heat tool. I really like watching the powder turn into shine!
The sentiment is stamped in green ink on a stitched oval and adhered to the card on foam tape. I stamped and embossed another pine cone branch on the bottom of it.
To complete the card I tied jute around the spine. I like this card so much it might be my Christmas card for next year! But that's a long way off and I'm sure I'll change my mind many, many times before then. haha
