Muse:Christmas Visions #77

I love Chriss Blagrave's card that is our inspiration for Muse: Christmas Visions this month.  Here's my interpretation.
The stamps are from Altenew, heat embossed in gold and colored with Zigs. The NBUS word die is from Essentials by Ellen cut in gold and layered over coaster paper.  This looks like an easy card to do, and it should have been, but I tried at least four times before I had a card I could color and look good. If I thought I could do it again the first time I'd make more because I rather like it.

Here's Chriss' card.  Isn't it lovely?  I did quite have the right stamps to cover the entire front of a card.
Thanks for dropping by.

Beautiful card, Bobby. Love the 'joy' die-cut ... it in gold and the gold embossing are perfect.

Happy to see you didn't give up at the first attempt. The end result is just gorgeous. Love how you pulled out the red flower element and made that the start of your design. It's as if you have zoomed in on Chriss's pattern.
