Free For All Friday at Flourshes LC

Hello, my friends!

It's my Free For All Friday on the Flourishes LC blog today.

For my card, I used one of the August Release images.

It's called "Christmas Tree" and you can find it HERE.

The last time I used this stamp I had embossed gold on green.
This time I heat embossed white on red.
The beautiful design really shows beautifully, doesn't it?
It's such a simple way to make a pretty card.

I distressed the edges of the red cardstock,

and adhered it onto a white card base.

Other Materials Used:

Embossing Powder: Ranger - Super Fine Detail White;

Card Base: Paper Wishes - Card and Envelope Set.
