Today I am sharing with you my Deck the Halls Card that I presented at my Leader’s Demonstrator Meeting this past week. I also made a video on how I made this card that can be found at the bottom of this post. The card uses the beautiful Brightly Gleaming Suite. I couldn’t resist copper embossing the sentiment to match the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper with its striking copper accents! I had fun colouring with my Blends the holly and berries from the Christmas Gleaming Cling Stamp Set. The Shimmery Crystal Effects on the berries and the rhinestones add a nice touch of sparkle to the card.
