My first card is a small 4x4 card, and I have embossed the little holly leaf design in clear embossing powder onto some pale green card from a Martha Stewart pack.
I then stamped the little holly bewrries separately and used Whit Pearls embossing powder for a subtle transluscent shimmery effect.
I also stamped the quirky little frame and sentiment in the White Pearls too, and added some tiny green gems. Finally added a thin piece of cream ribbon to the side.
My next card was stamped with a different holly leaf stamp, embossed with clear powder around a 4x4 darker green card panel, and the sentiment embossed in white.
Finally added some tiny green gems for a little glitter.
I'm so pleased with how they turned out, and I'm going to make a batch of these today for posting overseas.

I'm unsure which card I like more. Both are wonderful. I think I'm more leaning more to the first card. I just love the less is more concept and you do such a terrific job creating these types of cards.
I am always amazed at how awesome you are at CAS - you are my CAS idol ;) Love them both !! Hope you are enjoying the holiday season - I'm not done either (in fact I've barely started, lol!!!) ;)

Beautiful cards with nice and refreshing colors, wonderful embossing there!
Ah, the perfect cards to put into the mail! The postman will love you for it. :) The embossing gives the cards lots of textural interest, even though they are only one layer.
I love the shine your embossing gives this. Such a pretty color too. (green's my favorite!) I love how clean and simple yet elegant this is. Thanks for playing at Party Time Tuesdays this week. See you again soon.
