Tutorial: Peaceful Nativity

 

The Peaceful Nativity stamp set has lovely images that are great for coloring – but they also look very elegant when embossed in gold. As an added bonus, this card is one that is pretty quick to make because there is no coloring to do. The gold embossing is complimented by the Gold Foil paper as well as the gold stars in the Designer Paper.
