There are no rules on this challenge so I feel fairly safe. :-)
I sometimes like to do non traditional colors on my Christmas cards. I wanted to use this stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers called Snowman Country and used only the tree, which I gold embossed. My dies are Spellbinders deckle nesties. I really like the designer paper which my sister gave me. It is My Mind's Eye-Lost & Found Christmas (pad)...which gave it a vintage look, therefore, the distressing. Rest of recipe is below.
Hope you'll get out your dies and join us.

lovely card, the color combo is so beautiful and so is the flower in the corner,just loved it.
What beautiful paper! Your sister has great taste! I love the tree with the deckle nesties.
this is a beautiful christmas card benzi-love your card layout as well-looks like it would be an easy one to mass produce
This is lovely, Benzi! Great use of your nesties. :)
I love that tree image embossed in gold! The tilted panels look great, and I love the non-traditional colors too! And yes! I've often gone to clean my room and ended up making a card! I think it might be called "addiction!" :)
Gorgeous! Love the nesties and the pretty non-traditional colors! Love the embossing too!e
No rules -- you used it twice! That's two dies, right? Very pretty non-traditional colors Christmas card.
Classical beauty! I'll bet that tree would also look gorgeous gold embossed on the chocolate piece of cardstock, because of the dark color.
I love what you did with your image!! and the rose too! The colors are wonderful together and a great break from the traditional look! How very pretty!
