How to step up your holiday cards: I run through extra die cuts in vellum and gold, ink effects on the embossing folder, embossing glaze, gold watercolor, gold Foundry wax, gold thread, velvet ribbon, twine, ink blending the background, gold spatter, gold edge, extra die cutting of the background layer, gold highlights, glitter glue, and decorated envelopes. Learn from my mistakes!

Ultimately, I decided on a plain embossed background, watercoloring the white edges of the die cut to match the leaves, and glitter glue over all the berries.
