Hi there everyone, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.    I have been away from the blog since October, as I had quite a few health issues, but am on the mend now and feeling quite strong again.   I made this card for the Merry Monday Challenge, "Embossing" #271 , I used an embossing folder that came with a "Sending Christmas Wishes" pack that I received last year, and have just now used it, the kit came with an embossing folder, stamps and cutting dies, I embossed the mail box and fence and shaded it with a soft red distress ink and stamped the holly leaves and bird and also the sign on the mail box, and cut them out with the dies, and I coloured them with distress pens, and I stamped a little grass at the bottom of the fence with an old stamp that was in my stash.   I used a white background card and shaded around the card and the topper with the same pale red that I used on the letter box, and I shaded the crown on the letter box with a yellow texta pen.  Hope you all like it and I am entering it into Http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge.blogspot.com,   cheers, Jasann
