Hello Stamping Friends!
Here today with a card inspired by the creative folks over at Merry Monday, which is an ongoing Christmas card challenge. If you love Christmas cards as much as I do, then go take a peek at their blog and join in the fun!
Today's card uses another of my favorite stamps from the SU Holiday Catalog, called Nature's Peace. I love this image and wanted to make it special, as it is the total focus of the card. So, I embossed it with a combination of Iridescent Ice and Early Espresso embossing powders. I'm not sure the pretty shimmer shows very well in my photos, but it's the perfect touch in real life!
I hope you enjoy this card and plan for some creative time this weekend.
Happy Stamping,

I also wanted to make the card special in and of itself, so I chose to make an easel card. I used Under The Tree dsp for the card, and the envelope as well. This design really puts the card on display for the recipient. ;)

Right after I ink distressed the cardstock, I sprinkled Iridescent Ice over the still slightly wet edges, and what stuck, I heated. It's a subtle, sparkly touch.
