Ashwini is the host for this LAST challenge of the year. It is an interesting one, but if you give it some thought, you can do this. Another way to use your Christmas dies and stamps.
I used Power Poppy's That's a Wrap for the bow and tag.
Spellbinders Snow Called Holiday for the ferns and berries and cone.
The Embossing folder is Mountain Meadows and I rubbed
Weathered Wood ink over it.
There is Wink of Stella on the bow and glossy accents on the berries.
I wish it showed better.
Johanna is our Special Guest Thanks for the wonderful cards these last two months.
Liz is our winner from last challenge.
Wishing you a wonderful Holiday Season, We will see you all in January 2026.
Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments!
I have a friend who's birthday is on Christmas day and a couple of others right before and after. I can use the inspiration! This is as amazing as I've come to expect your cards to be. What a fabulous combination of stamp, dies, and embossing! My jaw has dropped!
ReplyDeleteMe??? Am I your friend? lol Merry Merry!
DeleteGorgeous! Love the pretty dies you chose, the pinecones, greenery and florals look so lovely! That bow is remarkable (I just used it myself for one of next years DD Challenges lol--old is new again!) This is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteStunning, every little detail! The inked, embossed background design, the beautiful foliage and that gorgeous bow. Lots of texture and dimension too. I have a few Christmas Eve and Christmas Day BD cards to get done also.
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful. I love how you have incorporated the die cuts along with the stamped bow, it gives this card such dimension. I also love that background. The texture is perfect, this is simply gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that soft embossed background is really what ties this gorgeous card together....Pun intended.😆 Seriously, this is a show stopper, Barb! That bow is as pretty as can be. Can't wait to see what 2026 has in store from you! Thanks for all you do for STB! Take care!
ReplyDeleteBarbara, this is such a beautiful card with your elegant present. I love all the texture and colors. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Christmas and Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a gorgeous bow and I have that in my Power Poppy collection. Thanks for motivating me to make use of it this holiday season and also for use of birthday cards.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Barbara, the inked embossed background looks stunning with the diecuts, have a wonderful festive season and New Year, Cathy x
