Greetings, Friends!
I'm here today, with a QACAS card, using new-to-me items.
I started with the embossing -- I tried to add inking on the first panel to highlight the pine boughs but that was a No-Go! So, I embossed another panel and left it plain. Now what's a gal to do with it? I spied the new-to-me press plate and pressed right onto the embossed panel. I first pressed using Delicata Gold twice, and while it was wonderful, it was still a bit light. I pressed a third time using PTI Fine Linen to get a bit of a darker look, then went back to press with gold. Much better! Then, the gold thread was wrapped and tied making a slight addition to the gold pressed sentiment. While very CAS, I do like that it lets the sentiment stay at the focus. My only question now, should I add sparkle to the "snow"? A bit of Nuvo, or chunky glitter?

Since both products are seeing the light of day for the first time, I will be sending this to Darnell's NBUS #82.
Supplies:

Hump Day, Folks! Hope you have a great rest of your week!

I think this is perfect as is, TK! The sentiment shows beautifully and so does the embossing! WOW!
It's perfect in its simplicity, TK. I'm glad you kept at it to get the gold pressing to show up. So elegant!
CAS and ever so lovely!
Beautiful card TK. Add the sentiment and then dry embossing is such a great way to create so much depth and beauty. I especially love how the gold ink worked out when paired with another ink to make it stand out more. A little bit of fine glitter sprinkled here and there would add some sparkle ... great idea. xx
