While my cardstock may look like Kraft in my photo, it is not; this is a beautiful brushed Gold cardstock by Stampin' Up. I heat embossed the Peace on Earth sentiment with black embossing powder. Why so much black on a holiday card, you may be asking? That, too, was part of the Free for All challenge on Splitcoaststampers (SCS) to use black for a holiday card. I also took the opportunity to try my hand at spirelli for the first time, using this beautiful gold crochet thread around a lacey circle Nestability. It was so easy to do following this tutorial on SCS! I was going to put a button in the center, but didn't like what I have on hand and then I stumbled upon this jar of little gold jingle bells in my stash. I attached them with Aleene's Tacky Glue.
