My card features the beautiful Traditional Christmas Wide Washi Tape & Coordinating Die, Pine and Berries 3D Embossing Folder and the Happy Holidays Sentiments Stamps & Coordinating Die Set!!

I began by applying the Traditional Christmas Wide Washi Tape to white cardstock and die-cutting it with the Coordinating Die. I love that all the images cut at one time!!

Next, I embossed the Pine and Berries 3D Embossing Folder onto a panel of pale aqua cardstock. I used foam daubers and a small paint brush to add Vintage Photo, Bundled Sage Candied Apple Distress Inks over the raised embossed areas. I diluted a bit of gold watercolor and swiped it onto some of the raised areas with a small paint brush, then splattered it over the entire background. I also splattered it with diluted white bleed-proof ink. Once it was dry, I trimmed it down and adhered it to an A2 panel of red cardstock. The washi tape images were arranged and adhered with a combination of liquid glue and foam squares.

The sentiment, from the Happy Holidays Sentiments Stamp Set, was stamped onto white cardstock with red dye ink. It was cut out with the Coordinating Die and adhered with a combination of foam tape and liquid glue. I tucked some of the washi die-cuts around the sentiment to finish off the card.

I LOVE the touches of gold foil in the washi tape!! And that 3D embossing folder…sigh!!
