7th Day of Christmas Happy 2023

Amazing how fast and at the same time not so much 2022 was, first day of 2023 beginning of hopefully a a better year in health, less losses, less cases with COVID, and more crafty time.

For my card all paper is Accent Opaque Digital International Paper 80 lb. cover smooth white cardstock except the card base that is Recollections 110 lb. white cardstock. Used mistletoe wreath bundle by Altenew, you can buy individual or as bundle I bought individual as they had them out of stock so as they came available I was getting the items 😊 I started by cutting my mistletoe wreath then I used the simple coloring layered stencil set with Tim Holtz distress inks mowed lawn, rustic wilderness and peeled paint, for the berries used the same ink barn door but one stencil did it light handed for the second did it heavy handed and for the branch ground espresso then ran it through the botanical 3D embossing folder mounted to 3 layers more of scrap white. Then on another piece of white ran the exquisite marble hot foil plate by Altenew on the glimmer hot foil system with silver foil from the variety pack that has silver, pewter, cooper & polished brass then die cut it with frame of glass effects Shapeabilities by Spellbinders mounted to the A2 card base then mounted the wreath and of course it couldn't be flying but didn't think about it quick enough so I drew a line with Copic multi liner gray. Then using a scrap of kraft-stock foil paper from Tim Holtz idea-ology metallic jewels and the glimmer hot foil plate mini Christmas sentiments strip set with the same silver foil made the message. Finally added some clear drops iridescent by Pinkfresh Studio.

As you might remember I hate wet embossing and hot foil has been the solution for me but photographing hot foil is as bad as any shiny paper LOL any ideas much appreciated
