CHNC challenge 586

This is my card for my CHNC challenge 586 - please click on the link to find out what it's all about and I hope you'll be able to join in with your Christmas designs - anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of 'no patterned paper'.

My card is very similar to one I showed here, but with the addition of the printed greeting matted on to gold mirror card. Unfortunately, it isn't a good photo ... this was sent to my brother and sister-in- law for Christmas.

It is a DL card on to which I matted a piece of gold mirror card, on to which I mounted a piece of card that I had stamped with Lisa Horton's slimline 'so festive' inked with with versamark and heat embossing with gold detail powder, matting this on to a piece of gold mirror card, then on to the DL card blank, adding three golden poinsettias from Italian Options and the printed greeting panel.

This was then printed out and matted on to gold mirror card with the addition of the poinsettias.
