Have you ever came across when you thought that you made a mistake but it turned out to be good? This is what happened to this card. I stamped the PB Sundial in black and heat embossed. I distressed the Sundial first in worn lipstick followed by aged mahogony and by mistake festive berries. Surprisingly, the festive berries gave such an intense red to the whole flower that it gave me a "WOW" factor! I sprayed the sundial with glimmer mist.
As for the second layer behind the red Sundial, using the same stamp it is stamped on the vellum and heat embossed in white. The sentiment is from HA Greatest Gift which is also stamped on the vellum and heat embossed on white.
My card is inspired from photo challenge at Stamptacular Sunday. As this is a holiday card, I am also entering this into Penny Black and More, Young Crafters Unite, Jingle Belles
