Happy Paper Players Sunday, friends! So glad you could join me today..I'm recovering from my almost-8-year-old's first sleepover birthday party. All went well but Mama is POOPED, lol! So, today you're here for a card...and what a lovely color combination Ann has for us:
Oh so perfect for the holidays! I used a sketch from Just Us Girls--even though it was last week's, I really liked it:
The oval in the center was calling out for a gold embossed tree don't you think?
The Brushed Gold cardstock was embossed with the Petals-a-Plenty impressions folder and I used a lovely pinecone spray from the Autumn Days set for a random background pattern.

Oh I love this - classic and elegant! The tree is gorgeous embossed on the Cherry Cobbler! And I hear ya about those sleepovers! It was all fun and games until the next day when everyone was oh so grouchy!
Loving that gold tree! Gorgeous take on the colours and sketch.
Just gorgeous Nance! I love the gold embossed tree and that gold brushed embossed paper. They are perfect together.
Quite lovely! That tree certainly lends itself to being embossed as you did. I also really like the woodgrain on the oval. It really gives your card an additional organic feel, with a little bit of lux with the gold.
Very pretty, Nance! I love the woodgrain and the pines stamped on the CC....nice effect! Glad to hear you survived the party, too! :D
Beautiful, Nance! The embossing sets off the entire card! Awesome!
Gorgeous as always Nance, love how you used that sketch, especially the embossed background, it really makes everything pop!
Nance LOVE this one! The BG woodgrain is perfect, and I also love the stamped pinecone BG on the card base. The embossed tree is beautiful and love the shimmer mist inside. Hugs.
Very pretty! I love the embossing on the gold cardstock and I think your embossed tree is lovely too! Imagine...Nance using woodgrain on a card... :D Everything fits so well together and the shimmer paint tree inside was a nice touch.
Nance, as if I didn't love that Woodgrain background enough because of your inspiration...then you go and pair it up with one of my new favorite sets. Can I just say STUNNING!! Love the richness of the gold embossing and all of the perfect layers. This is one lovely card, in every way. Hope today was great for you, my friend! Big hugs! :)
Nance I love how you put so many elements in and yet kept this card CAS. The embossed tree on the woodgrain is so fantastic. Fabulous card.
