The topper is a few stages. First, I dry embossed some vellum with a stencil I've had for ages (yup, I've been doing more stash diving). Then I used the stencil to cut out some green mirri card to match the tree shapes, and stuck it onto a piece of black card. After that, I lined up the vellum and base card so the trees were in the right place - possibly the hardest part of the whole card. After the vellum was wrapped around, I stuck it onto some green mirri card, and onto a dark green backing card.
The sentiment caused me a nightmare - I wanted it to match the topper, but I don't have anything I can emboss a Christmas message through. I tried everything, from the sublime to the ridiculous of trying to burnish over a stamped image. In the end I settled for stamping in green on vellum, and heat embossing! Sometimes the easiest ideas, huh?
The envelope is another Ultimate Pro creation, this time with a liner to compliment the design.
