Here is my card for today:
I created the background of this card with the Avery Elle Ikat additions stamp set using Simon says stamp fog gray and Hero Arts soft pool ink. The gold accents and sentiment were heat embossed with some glitter EP from Reflections. The sentiment is from Avery Elle's 'comfort and joy' stamp set. I mounted the stamped panel onto a birchwood scalloped matt and a soft stone card base. I love the idea of making Christmas cards out of non Christmas stamps. :)
