A Christmas Case

I made two versions of the card pictured on page 45 of the 2011-2012 Stampin' Up Idea Book & Catalog featuring the stamp set Beautiful Season.  This first version is just like the card in the catalog with one exception... no pearls as I needed to mail this card to Florida and wanted to keep it fairly flat.

This version of the card includes the pearls.  I did emboss the base card layer using my Big Shot and the Petals-a-Plenty Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I think the embossing really made the card more elegant.
