This is one of the samples I was going to use AT the Selective Embossing technique class this Tuesday ... however decided that making Christmas cards in August felt like I was rushing the summer - so it will just be a sample to showcase how they can use this technique in a couple months to make awesome homemade Christmas cards for family and friends!

This card features a Black, Gold and Vanilla color combo ... it showcases our gorgeous Chantilly Lace ribbon and the Waffle paper as well as the Tiny Tags stamp set and Jewellery Punch and the Basic Pearls and Rhinestones on the Petals a Plenty embossing folder which was selectively embossed here to just have a tree shape come through!
