Happy Friday!
Wow! Only a week and change until Christmas! I'm almost finished, just a few more things to take care of, but before internet shopping was so easy, my hubby used to wait until Christmas Eve to start! Can you believe?I know y'all have seen a lot of this wonderful Bubble Candle Oval this week, but I'm sure they'll give you plenty of great ideas and color schemes to use. I went with a soft palette; gold and blue. The elegance of gold embossing just seemed to go with this image so I gold embossed everything. I thought the Retro Starburst image (on top) and the Argyle Background (on bottom) went w/ it very nicely. The diamonds in the argyle were stamped w/ a lighter gold ink and I colored the image w/ Copics. I added a die cut banner with the Christmas Blessing greeting across the bottom. The finished ivory card measure 4.25 x 5.50.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Beautiful stamping and great colors, Julie. I love the retro starbursts on this.
Never knew blue and gold could look so good together! Love the embossong!
Great colors, and I love the backgrounds. Beautiful
What a beautiful and peaceful card! If you'd have asked me yesterday I would have assured you that blue, gold and beige definitely don't go together - shows what I know ;)
Stunning embossing and the argyle is stamped so perfectly! Amazing!
I just love the colors you chose on this card, Julie. So soft and warm. This is one beautiful card!
