Happy Christmas

Hi there, Here is a Christmas card to enter into the challenge on 52 {Christmas} card throwdown, Theme Challenge "Christmas Candles/Lanterns"
http://52cct.blogspot.com.au and it is day 3 of my personal challenge to use all my embossing folders, I used a white card stock for the base and the topper, on the topper I cut out the centre with the largest die in Couture Creations "Victorian Rectangle" I cut it on my big shot with the usual tab 2, and shaded all the snowflakes and inside and outside edges with Memento Ink Pad "Bahama Blue", and for the inside I used an embossing folder that I got free with Quick Cards, with this folder I had to use the base only, no tab folders, it is a beautiful image, and to show the icy feel I shaded these with Distress Ink "Pumice Stone" and for the lantern I used an old 12" Sizzex Cutting Die in Black and Yellow card stock, this cutting die also needed only the base with no tabs, the pine needles were cut with a Memory Box Die, "Pine Needles, and the red bow was cut from Tim Holtz Bigz Die, "Retro Ornaments" and the sentiment is from a Spellbinders Christmas Collection Stamp Set, Thank you so much for visiting today, your comments are always welcome, Jasann
