Now of course I couldn't finish the 12 Days of a JustRite Christmas without a Christmas Card. This card was designed to coordinate with the Christmas Candle from Day 10 (you can find the complete instuctions for the candle on that post)
The DP is from Daisy D's Christmas Paper Pack - just love it's victorian feel. To design the center band of the card I dry embossed WorldWin Papers Crimson Red Cardstock using the new Cuttlebug SnowDots Embossing Folder. Next I also dry embossed a strip of WorldWin Pearlescent Gold Swirl -this paper looks like a swirled metal and is dynamite when dry embossed. I decide to cut narrow strips of the design highlighting only the places that the circle designs interlock. It looks like I have a new embossing folder in my stash. For the center image of the card I used one of the designer centers and one of the designer borders from JB 08150 Christmas Stamp Ensemble. I inked the stamp with brillance gold ink, but once I stamped the image the contrast of the gold on the white wasn't quite strong enough. So the second time I inked the card with gold and then added a little Versamagic Red to the top of the gold before I stamped the image. I loved the effect. For the designer border I used Versamgic Red Magic to stamp the image and then tapped the white cardstock with Versamgic Pumpkin Spice.
