Christmas is in full swing here at my house. At least for my cards, that is! And I'm having fun experimenting with my new hot foil machine, as well. The two things came together for my card for Freshly Made Sketches this week. Cécile is our hostess and her card inspired a lot of Christmas possibilities for me.
It was hard to capture a decent picture of this card, but the background is a lovely rose-gold foil and I topped it with a scallop circle also cut in rose-gold followed by a vellum poinsettia. Unfortunately the color of the rose-gold and the poinsettia itself didn't lend well to my not-so-great photography skills. But the card is very pretty in real life!
I hope you have time to play along with us at Freshly Made Sketches this week. As usual my fellow design team members have cooked up some fabulous cards to inspire you!

Vellum and foil - the photographer's nemesis for sure! But I know it is pretty in real life!
This is lovely, Jen!
So glad you've come over to the dark side - of hot foiling, that is :). Fabulous card!
What a super delicate card, Jen! That poinsettia is lovely and the foil background so precious.
