I really like how it turned out, but I must say it took me about an hour to get the idea moving in my head.
Here a close up.... it show all the different things I used. The main Christmas ball was stamped with Versa and then embosed with Stardust Transparent, the sparkle shows up nicely here, then I placed it into the Grace's Frame embossing folder, then I cut that out close the the frame and rounded the corners. The next layer was made with Gold poster board I got at Hobby Lobby and cut it down into usuable pices, here I used Spellbinder die called A2 Polka Dots/S5-133. The ribbon and bow were just some I had already.
Here's the whole front....... it's quit pretty in person, I don't think it shows thru here.
On the inside I used the left over pice of gold from the front and then used Grace's Frame again, I tryed to edge it with gold but it did not look right so I put some black over it and will that's with I got, think I'll leve it alone next time. The verse is from a Flourishes set called Winter Berries/SS255, and No your not seeing doubble, I stamped it twice. Dont think I'll do that again either.....the first time I used Encore metallic silver and did't show I went over it with Grey Flannel.
So what do you think?

What a pretty Christmas card! I love that pretty embossed ball on the card front and the embossing folder you chose to work with. Hope you have a good weekend!
Ooooh, pretty! Yes, sometimes forming the idea takes longer than making the actual card. That's how it is with me and CAS cards. This is gorgeous!
