Feliz Navidad Card
I'm loving diagonals right now.
I stamped and embossed the woodgrain pattern from Woodgrain Backgrounder onto some dark gray cardstock
It gives it a little subtle texture that I'm adoring right now.
And a touch of the rustic.
The ornament from Ornate Ornaments is also embossed and then colored in.
Embossing it makes it easier to stay within the lines. Hah!
If you ever mass produce, this is a great way to maintain some sanity. ;-)
Merry Christmas Card
For this card, I wanted to try a whitewashed wood look.
I love the clean look of white.
And so embossing the wood background from Woodgrain Backgrounder in clear just gave my cardstock some much needed texture.
It's pretty subtle in the pic but fabulous in person.
I pulled the poinsettia from Big Blooms - Poinsettia and the sentiment comes from Ornate Ornaments.
Thanks for stopping by! Waltz on over to Bonnie to see more inspiration!

Wonderful coloring on your embossed ornament and beautiful poinsettia Belinda!
I like both of your backgrounds. The diagonal stripes are punchy. The faux wainscoting is restful. Neat ideas!
Gorgeous cards! Love the whitewashed wood look! Love the new stamps!
These are just stunning...
Fabulous!!
I absolutely adore the white...
and that gorgeous poinsettia...
just pops against it! ;)
Beautiful cards, especially love the second one!!
Great cards, I particularly like the whitewashed look on the second - charming!
Wonderful cards--I like the striking diagonals on the first and the subtle wood grain on the second.
Your background is wonderful! Love the texture in it!
Great cards, especially love the whitewashed one with the embossed panels - love that look!
Diagonals GOOD! Hee! Love that design and your second card is just stunning! Love the vertical panels and the poinsettia is beautiful against the white woodgrain!
Your cards are lovely Belinda - so clean and crisp looking - perfect!
Both are just wonderful. Love the bold diagonals and super ornament on the first card. But I absolutely LOVE the simplicity of the poinsettia card!
The diagonals on your first card are really a great foundation for the ornament. I love how the second card looks a good deal like a wooden fence panel.
This is a GREAT idea! I just ordered my stamp set and can not wait to try this technique. Looks so much like a beautiful wood fence before the years dry it out!
Your creations are breathtaking!
Love your cards.
