Good Friday morning! Literally! It’s Good Friday and according to the calendar it’s March and our second week of Spring. I’ve got the pleasure and honour of being the Guest Designer over on the Festive Friday Challenge Blog. It’s a colour challenge this time and wowzers, aren’t these beautiful colours! I was just about to stamp the sentiment in Basic Grey ink when it dawned on me that I should be using "gold.” So out came the embossing powder. I was VERY VERY careful as I had already stitched the edges of the patterned paper and added the doily and ribbon. I don’t usually do that, but had to with the late decision to using gold embossing.
My Christmas paper and embellishments had been long put away but when Meredith (the blog owner) contacted me a few months ago, it was one of those “say yes!” moments. She’s got quite the line up of A List designers on her team. Head over there and join in the fun! Have a lovely Good Friday!

Wow! Stunning card, Maureen! The colors really are beautiful and your card is too - so elegant! Happy Easter to you! :)
This is gorgeous! I love the color scheme and the soft, sweet look of the card. The gold embossing was a great last minute decision! I usually have a "card-tastrophe" doing things like that when the card is assembled; so glad you didn't!
BEAUTIFUL card, Maureen. I love the pastel colors and the gold embossed sentiment is so elegant with your pretty bow and bells :)
Wonderful soft colours and well done adding the gold embossing! Have a blessed Eater :)
Maureen, you're so kind - and I am so glad you said yes!! I LOOOOOOVE this card, and I am so happy you got to play with those jingle bells some more!
I may have to add some gold EP to my next crafty order. Love the detail on your embossed sentiment against the patterned paper!
Well worth the embossing risk, Diva! That gold embossing ties in perfectly with those bells, twine and your heavenly seam binding treatment!
Hugs!
