Plaid Christmas Card

Christmas is in two days!  I managed to get all my Christmas cards done.  I usually don't follow trends in terms of new stamps, but something about all the plaids I'm seeing really made me want a plaid stamp.  I am so glad I purchased it.  I can see myself using it a lot.  Here's my card:


It's hard to tell in the picture, but the tree is spritzed with a shimmer mist.  It looks really pretty in real life. I embossed the background, mounted the embossed panel on a white card base, and added a die cut star and sentiment.

    What an excellent way to use that plaid stamp! I've seen it around in Blogland, and I think this might just be my favorite way to have used it. Really made this tree shape stand out so pretty against the snowflake embossing. It's just gorgeous! TFS & Happy New Year. Hope your holidays were pleasant. Hugs
