Oh my goodness, Stephanie, you certainly got some wonderful items in your new Christmas stash. I love the gold embossed flowers and leaves. That combination of Kuretake Pearl and Starry paints is breathtaking and makes a wonderful background for your two-piece die-cut sentiment. You've created a magical card. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
