I love heat embossing - it was one of the first techniques I learned and the magic still happens. This time I used white EP on the tree and gold EP for the senti, sponged over with Distress Inks, then misted and splotted with perfect pearls mist. I then sponged over the tree and sun to make it stand out from the background, and inked the edges.
Senti stamp: magazine freebie
Also: DInks, WoS on stars, Perfect pearls

It is curved and fits with lots of Christmas images
There were 14 of us here for Christmas day, sadly one daughter and her family were unable to make it. So three of our kids, their spouses, and six grandchildren. Afterwards we played games - in the shade! Some of the kids had a swim.

It was a scorcher indeed. Looks like a Merry Christmas was had by all.
Carol it all looks amazing and what a beautiful day for it too, and your embossed card is stunning.
Merry Christmas and all the best for the year ahead, having a chilled out day today, completely worn out.xxx

Hi Carol, a fun Christmas had by your family, ours was not quite so hot only 26C here and today it is currently 10C. Love the summer Christmas tree with the thongs on it. Have a wonderful week... Megan
As much as I prefer warmer weather, I do appreciate a nice, white Christmas! We were blessed enough to have a bit of snow/sleet/rain this year which made it seem like a white Christmas and we woke up this morning to about 2 inches of snow!! Yeay!! Anyway, your card is so fun!! What a great image for those of you that have a warm Christmas and I love the emboss resist technique with the colors you used! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
Hi Heather, I would love to have white Christmases. We had two winter Christmases in the northern hemishere a few years ago and loved it - a real Christmas feeling which we don't get here in the heat. Lucky you to get snow!
We also had a scorcher - Christmas eve was 31.6oC here, and the next two days also hit 30 - 25 oC today felt positively cool!
Your card is a stunner Carol - what brand os the stamp, it's a ewonderful one for our Christmas
Stay safe
Blessings
