Embossed Wise Men Christmas Card

card 1
 One of my favorite ways to embellish Christmas cards is by looping fibers around the inside of the card and tying a knot at the top, a technique I learned from my dear friend Barbara.  This makes the card more dramatic, but also mailable.  The loose stands easily fit inside an envelope.  I embossed this gorgeous Hero Arts wise men stamp in gold for the focal point and layered my papers.
card 2
I'm adding my card to the Hero Arts Holiday Cardmaking Challenge HERE, to Merry Monday for their Frame It challenge HERE, and to SSS for their Wrap it Up challenge HERE.  What is your favorite Christmas card embellishment?

    Stunning card Autumn - love the gold embossing on the maroon card. The 'faux tassel' is certainly a dramatic feature.
