Jingle All the Way

 Maybe the last Christmas card posting from me?  

I just had to try out this new 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder recently purchased.   I rubbed Ranger Distress Forest Moss Ink along the inside of the top panel, spritzed with water and embossed on a white card panel.   LOVE how it came out.  I took the panel out of the folder and then rubbed across the raised branches with the Forest Moss ink to highlight it a bit.
I die cut the sled out of red card and stamped the details over it  (PTI retired), punched holes and tied on the twine handle, added a bell and sentiment and adhered it over the panel with foam dots.

I'm linking my card to:
