Here is one of the Christmas cards that I made. It was actually fairly quick and easy but I think that the end result is quite elegant. See what you think:
I started by spritzing my green layer with bright gold metallic memories mist so that it would have some time to dry while I assembled the rest of the card. Now be aware that when you use any of these mists (glimmer mist, memories mist, pearl ex w/hairspray etc.) that your paper is going to curl on you but it will flatten as it dries. I then stamped my image onto white shimmer paper with versamark ink and embossed it with detail gold embossing powder. I cut the image into a rectangle and matted it with gold metallic paper. The green layer was now ready and I matted it with gold and attached to the card base. I used vintage dies from cuttlebug for the photo corners. Each corner was accented with a gold pearl. Ribbon was tied around the middle and the image was attached over it. The finishing touch was the rhinestone I added to the star of the image.
See simple and pretty and not too hard to reproduce if you need several of them like me.
