Simple Christmas Card

It is hard to see all the shimmer on this card but believe me it is there!!!  I embossed the background and used an ink blender to highlight the raised areas.  I then coated the entire piece with platinum shimmer paint from Stampin Up.  I then used the Decorative Labels Eight die to cut out the center piece and blended the edges while it was in the die.  I stamped an image from Stampin Up, Merry & Type in Early Espresso. Then using the Stamp a ma jig I stamped over the image again with Versa Mark and used Sticky Embossing Powder.  After I heat set the sticky powder I sprinkled Star Dust Glitter on top to heat set it once again.  I used Cherry Cobbler Ribbon as a beautiful accent color!
