Christmas in July

I made this scalloped circle card using the Wild Card cartridge. I cut it at 5." I used a dark green shimmery cardstock for the regular cut, then also cut some ivory cardstock to cut the black out version of the card to use on the interior. I used George and Basic Shapes to cut the gold circle at 3 3/4" and the ivory circle at 3 1/2." I stamped my image onto the ivory circle using embossing ink, then heat embossed it with some gold embossing powder. I finished it off with three sets of three gold pearls. I added my sentiment to the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment using pearlescent ivy ink by Tsukineko.

I made this for the following:
