PTI December Blog Hop: Silver and Gold

   Even though I wasn't fond of the theme for this month's blog hop at PTI, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to participate, especially when I had time to make a card. The challenge is to create a project using BOTH silver and gold.
  I decided I would make another Christmas card. However, this one will be sent in 2015. So I already have one done and only have 54 to go.

 This was not my original design. Initially, I stamped the leaves in silver and embossed it. Then I stamped the pine cones in dark Chocolate with the intention of embossing parts of the pine cone in silver. However, it did not turn out as desired so I flipped the kraft card stock over and decided to emboss the entire image in gold adding the silver ribbon as a border.
Stamping the inside as I made the card was a first for me. Usually I just do the outside and then stamp the insides of all my Christmas cards at the same time. (Sorry for the blurriness)

I just had to create a 2nd card using a white card base as I was sure the gold embossing of the pine cones would really pop.

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the Blog Hop now that the holidays are slowing down and a return to routine is just days away. Happy New Year too!
