I am so sorry that I have not been around much. The situation with my parents has really taken it out of me. Yesterday a private care package was put in place so that my dad could come home from hospital. Time will tell if this was the right choice. I do think it was best to try and keep them in their own home for as long as possible. I haven't crafted for weeks and I am missing it a lot. You do need head space to be able to create and I just don't have that at the moment.
Back to business. This is my card for the current challenge on the Moving Along with the Times challenge blog (MAWTT) the theme that has been set is Texture.
I have in my stash some of the 3D embossing folders from Crafter's Companion and this seemed like the right time to use one of them. I am trying to make Christmas cards where I can. I suspect this year that I will be buying cards for the first time in ages.
This is the Silent Night 3D Embossing Folder from Crafter's Companion. I used black card and two shades of Pebeo Gilding Wax. I am still a bit heavy handed with this. The ribbon was in my stash. I did find the embossing a bit tricky all my plates were too think so I ended up using sheets of card. I just had to experiment to get it right.
Why not join in with our latest challenge click on the logo and you will be taken there.
Another Christmas card for my stash and nice and flat for posting.
Enjoy the rest of the week.

Happy Crafting
