ok, so my card is pretty simple, but lots of fun! i used the holiday wishes stamp set and made this super fun and festive card!
the sentiment was heat embossed so it could really POP on that warm wood grain. then the jingle bells...ahhh, the jingle bells...let's just say, they were touch a go for a while! i die cut them and then heat embossed them in silver! sooooo love that! they're hanging by some twine! fun, right?
then i added a strip of some peppermint-y washi tape to the bottom of the card for an extra holiday touch! :)

The heat embossing against the woodgrain looks amazing! What a cool idea! Did you use die-cuts for the jingle bells? They look so shimmery and delicate. And I love, love the washi at the bottom..it adds a great pop of color!
