Another quickie card really -
This card was the second attempt and was inspired by Pinterest.
I originally stamped with metallic ink onto the dark grey base card.
The result was a rather pale and sad looking tree which could hardly be seen.
By the time I had decided it needed embossing I had already removed the stamp from the Misti so didn't chance trying to position it in the exact same place on the grid - mainly cos I couldn't remember where exactly it was in the first place!
So - another piece of card used (not that it made any difference to the paper mountain).
Stamped the middle tree first then gold embossed, repositioned the stamp twice more and gold embossed.
This time you can actually see the trees!
A Simple embossed sentiment, matted onto gold mirri card and a gold thread bow finished it off.
This is a card that I can't quite make my mind up about. Am unsure about the flat background - this dark grey is not a favourite!
Might try on a blue background with silver... or might even buy some black pearlised paper (cos there's none of that in the paper mountain) and redo in gold.
Hoping that you all are happy in your own little part of blogland - will see you all later in the week! x

I think this looks stunning Viv, the gold really stands out! I know what you mean about the paper mountain and it's a bit the same ribbon...have tons...but never just the right colour!! xx
I think it's a beautiful and very elegant card Viv. I love the gold trees. Barbxx
Those trees look really gorgeous in the gold, I do not think it looks too flat but if you are not happy with it why not try it on a smaller card, maybe 5 x 5 square card and see what you think to that. The gold ribbon and the sentiment does break up the background and all eyes will go to those fabulous trees.
