Gingham and holly Christmas card

I ordered a few of the new Tim Holtz Christmas stamps and mini stencils a couple of weeks ago and got to try a couple out on this card.  The background was stamped with Hero Arts shadow ink.  I mixed some embossing paste with sage green perfect pearls and used that with the embossing stencil over the stamped background. 

I added the kraft and white ribbon and a small stamped tag with twine.  This is a more muted color scheme than I normally use for Christmas cards, but I kinda like it.  Love that background stamp and think it will be very versatile!
