Welcome
This card is for the mid-month posting for We Love Stamping, November Challenge, with the optional theme of Christmas Characters
Before I get onto my card, there are some changes to the challenge...
With immediate effect we have relaxed our rules and will now require you to have 'At least one stamped element on the front of entries'. Of course if you are a seasoned stamper then we will still love seeing your fully stamped creations and the Design Team will continue to share their love of stamping.
My card is as follows
I 'coloured' this card front solely with silver heat embossing,
using two sets of Christmas stamps from Sweet 'n' Sassy Stamps
The stars are all from the O Holy Night Set.
I would advise that you stamp all your card front before embossing - I had to do some creative 'shielding' of some areas while I heated other areas...
I also embossed the edges of the dark blue panel with the same silver ep.
The envelope was stamped with the same ink.
The prizes this month are:

Do like that you heat emboss Maxine, the silver looks so luxurious on the deep blue and a lovely image and sentiment.

Maxine, "Wise Men" Christmas cards are so compelling and this one is beautiful. The simple silver embossing is just right. The sentiment is a beautiful reminder of what really matters! Smiles, Kathy
That's a great traditional Christmas scene. Love the silver embossing on the blue background xx
That is just beautiful Maxine. When I look at the photo of just the wording by itself, it almost looks like embroidery - it is so effective. I am sending your blog link to a friend who is doing her entire lounge in Blue's & Silver this Christmas ... she will love this 💙
Fabulous creation! Thanks for sharing with us at CRAFT Challenge!

Lovely Christmas card!
What a beautiful card Maxine. One of my favourite images which I have used many times in many forms. The gold against the black is so rich looking. I love the inside stamping, another beautiful image.
Blessings, Neet xx
