Christmas Tree-Embossed

I wasn't sure where this would end up, but this is such a beautiful image, and when I stamped it on the LaBlanche Speciality Paper with Ranger Archival Ink it just popped.  I then distressed it with the new Distressed Twig ink and Stampin' Up Ruby Red, this process dulled the look of the card so after edging it with Brilliance Gold, I used a glossy spray coat to bring back the brilliant color.  Wow did it bring back the color.  I used the Sizzix Music Embossing Folder, generic whit and Gold ribbon.

I ended up using and incandescent lamp to take this picture because the flash drowned out the pic due to the glossy finish, so because of the yellowing effect of the lamp the red appears a little orange.  Red & yellow make orange.  Groan.
