Northern Flurry two ways

I think I've raved about how much I love the Textured Impressions Embossing Folders before haven't I? If not, let me just say, I love them. I love them all! I wasn't going to order this one, but then I saw some of the fun things people are doing with it and of course, I ordered it and here we are.

This first card has a little bit of a vintage feel. I used Very Vanilla and then using a sponge, added some soft suede ink to the edges and the raised bits. A little Cherry Cobbler adds the perfect touch. It's still a very simple and flat card, but totally fancy enough to use as a holiday card. My husband hates it, but I think that might be a good sign.

This second card is almost the exact same layout, but with Whisper White, Real Red, shimmer paint and Pearls!

Can you see the pearls???? 

And yes, Josh hates this card too and I made it just for him! I wanted to use glitter instead of pearls and we all know where that gets us. Yep, that's right, glittery pants in court and no garbage taken out for a week.

The things we do for love.
