Okay, so here's the thing. When I make a card, I usually have only a vague idea of what I want to do or use. In this case, I had been using Delicata on another card and then I wondered how it would look stamped out using the Concord & 9th Stripe Builder set. That turned out very cool. Glitzy but soft. So let's keep going with that theme and stamp and emboss a tree in gold. Dreamy. Sorta boring tho. Let's distress the edges! Big whoop. Still boring. Let's spatter some Peerless gold "snow" here, there, and (unfortunately) frickin' everywhere. Mmm, liking this. Ribbon! I ran the Delicata over seam binding with fantastic results. I love the look of that perfectly matched ribbon. The sentiment is so fab in that bold black and perfectly balanced by the tree and bow.
