Church Window Christmas Card

Firstly I embossed a piece of tan card using a Crafters Companion dry stone wall embossing folder. I inked over the top of the embossing with a black ink pad. 

I matt and layered my 8x8in white card with red card and then the tan embossed card, I rounded the corners of both these layers with a punch. I die cut the church window with a Memory Box die in black and then backed it onto cream card before cutting around it. I die cut the holly flourish with a Cheery Lynn die, the candles with a Marianne die and the poinsettia with a Tattered Lace die. I then assembled all the elements together.

I then die cut the sentiment in red using a Elizabeth Craft Designs die, I added that to my card along with a poinsettia. I completed my card with pearl embellishments
