Here are a couple of techniques that can add some interest as backgrounds to your holiday cards. Consider tissue or toilet paper as another texture when embossing with your favorite embossing folders. My favorites for this technique are EVERGREEN FOREST (153576), SCRIPTY (149634), and PARISIAN FLOURISH 3D (151474) Embossing Folders. All are available at my ONLINE Store.
I coordinated the backgrounds with products from the CHRISTMAS GLEAMING, FOR UNTO US, PEACE AND JOY stamp sets and the POINSETTIA PLACE suite.
