Christmas Embossing

Hello and thanks for visiting.

For my embossing I used an embossing folder I have had for a while and was a gift on a craft magazine.  I added some Calypso Coral ink to the embossing with a dauber.

 

Other than a few layers, it is a fairly simple card but the paper is lovely so I did not want to add more.

The cardstock used was SU Calypso Coral, Basic Grey, So Saffron and Xpress It Blending cardstock.

 

I have added some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter with Crystal Effects to the coat trimming and the spots on the scarf and buttons is Liquid Pearls Rouge.
