Red, Green & Gold Christmas

 I've used some more of the stamps I got with my AAA Cards Challenge prize on today's cards. These sentiments are from the 'Festive Phrases' set by Funky Fossil. I stamped them on to snippets of green and red card using Versamark Ink, then heat embossed using 'Metallic Gold Rich' embossing powder form WOW. For the backgrounds of the cards, I embossed some snippets of gold mirror card using a couple of embossing folers I picked up in a charity shop. They aren't labelled, but a little bit of Googling revealed that the holly one is a Sheena Douglas folder (simply called 'Holly'), and the snowflake one is called 'Sparkling SNowflakes' by Crafter's Companion. I matted these on to matching green and red card balnks.


Here are some close-ups:
