Happy December, and welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio Holiday CardsBlog Hop! If you came from the amazing Laura Bassen’s blog, you are right on track!
Inspired by my own card, I created a Christmas card with gold heat embossed background. I started by stamping the poinsettia frame image from the Pinkfresh Studio Merry & Bright Stamp Set with Altenew Embossing Ink on an A2 size white card base. I rotated my stamp and masked the image while stamping to get more out of one stamp image until I stamped the entire background. 
Then I sprinkled some Altenew Antique Gold Embossing Powder over my clear stamped background, tapped off the excess, and heat set the stamped images using my Embossing Heat Tool until they were completely melted.
Next, I stamped the sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio December Days Stamp Set inside the frame with Altenew Jet Black Ink.
I gold embossed the same image on a piece of red colored cardstock, I die cut the image using Pinkfresh Studio Merry & Bright Die Set. I finished off my card by popping up the die cut frame on my card front using 3M foam tape.
