Golden Stars for CCMC280

It's Thursday and time for this week's challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.  We have a color challenge for you - Night of Navy, Gold and Whisper White.







I love these colors for Christmas, very elegant.  I decided to to gold embossing for my card and keep it simple.  Here's what I came up with.



Here's the basics of my simple Christmas card.

1.  Night of Navy for the card base.

2.  Cut Whisper White 4" x 5 1/4" and embossed it with the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder.

3.  Ran the edges of the Whisper White layer through Versa Mark and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.



4.  Die cut a piece of Night of Navy with one of the Apothecary Accents Framenlits.  I used the large Oval Punch to cut out the center so I could add a banner.

5.  The banner is a 1/2" x 3" piece of Whisper White card stock.  I made a banner end using the Hexagon punch then embossed the My Paper Pumpkin greeting in gold.  I also stamped and embossed three stars from MPP.  I fussy cut them and added them to the card with a dab of Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive.

That's it for my simple yet elegant Christmas card.  These were great colors to work with, I hope you will join along!  You can find all the details and more samples from the Design Team at Create with Connie and Mary.  Thanks for visiting today!
