ID: MC Oct/12 - Gelatos Xmas - Noel card
size: 5"w x 6"h

I finally found my Gelatos and have been playing with them today...

I'm using an Xmas texture stamp and Flourish stamp from Quietfire Design

I colored the embossing folder (Crafts Concepts "Merry Christmas") with the Gelatos in various shades (ochre, red, green), misted heavily with water and then ran it through my embossing machine. (Used 110# white cardstock). Trimmed it down and edged it with a gold Krylon leafing pen.

The main card is white and embossed the four sides with a narrow embossing folder (Cuttlebug "Pop Culture" set). Adhered the background.

Die cut a buckle (Spellbinders "Ribbon Buckles") from a piece of white cardstock, embossed with Queen's Gold. Ran my velvet ribbon and the gold/red ribbon through the buckle then adhered them to the card front.

Die cut the jingle bells, also from gold embossed cardstock.

Stamped my sentiment on white cardstock with Versafine Black Onyx, clear embossed and die cut with Sizzix "Ornament", then stamped the flourishes and embossed with the gold. Sponged Distress "Festive Berry" all over. Added the gold hanger piece, adhered to card and drew in my chain with a black pen. Added a pencil line for shadow and blended with a paper stump.
