Hello everyone! I'm here today with a Christmas card for Inspired By Stamping's Challenge #39, where the color palette this week is Sage Green, Red and White.
I was inspired by a layout in the new special issue from Paper Crafts Magazine called Paper Crafting Tips and Tricks. I used a sentiment from Inspired By Stamping's Elegant Christmas Sentiments set. LOVE the fancy font! The embossing folder is new to me. I picked it up at a JoAnn's store recently. It's called Madison, and I love that you can use either side of the embossed piece; both images are gorgeous.
Here's the inspiration picture:
At this time ALL products (stamps, paper, dies) are welcomed with our challenge. You do not have to incorporate an IBS stamp set or flowers.

Absolutely beautiful! Love the embossed background. Embossing folders are my weakness. Your foliage sprig is so pretty against the white.
