Pines at Christmas!

This card came together with a multitude of Stampin' Up products from lots of different catalogs and years, starting way back in 2012!  I have always loved the old Evergreen tree stamps and really wanted to find a way to use it again.  After deciding on my basic layout and to using the Ornamental Pine stamp as may oval's background, I had to find a way to make the tree stand out.  Gold embossing seemed just right and allowed other elements of gold to be added...a gold foil layer and oval frame, plus the gold metallic stamped sentiment.  Take a peek below at the finished card and simple inside card design to coordinate.
