Cozy Christmas Card

What a cozy color combo challenge at 

52 Christmas Card Throwdown this week:

kraft, black and red; no other colors. 

I used Kraft, Cherry Cobbler and Black card stocks.

Black ink for the stamp. 

I debated on whether or not

I should sponge ink along the edges of the kraft card base. 

I decided to go for it ;) 

The black strip was run through a Swiss Dots embossing folder.

 I tore the bottom edge off of the Cherry Cobbler strip. 

It was then run through a Square Lattice embossing folder.

I originally was not going to emboss that piece,

 then decided to after the edge was torn off.

I punched a heart from Cherry Cobbler and stamped just the word "heart"

on it, attaching it to the card front with a dimensional.

The plaid ribbon started as black and white.

I ran it across a light brown ink pad

 to make the white more of a kraft color. 

Thanks for looking :)
