Yuletide in June

Two posts in one day!! This is a record. Yesterday with temperatures well over 35 degrees and humidity of nearly 90% I sat with the Air Con on and made some Christmas Cards!!! Must be mad. Today it is cooler but blowing a gale but more comfortable, don't need the AC.
The Challenge for My Time To Craft is Yuletide in June. I had already had the idea for this card the other day when I was using the embossing folder for something else. It is one of the ones from Crafts Too. The design is made with Stamps from Rubber Tapestry. the word Noel is one stamp and the decoration is made with 3 tiny peg stamps. I stamped the Noel with Versamark and heat embossed it with gold and then added the decoration. A quick and simple card but I think quite stylish and light too for posting, especially from here as everything has to go airmail
I tried 2 different ways, on the second one I used an embossing pen on the stars and added gold embossing powder. I'm not sure which way I like best.
I am also entering this for Crafty Anns Challenge Blog which this week is Embossing.

Thank you for looking.

    Wow, wow, wow Anne!
    This is absolutely amazing!
    I LOVE it!
    Totally understated and totally gorgeous!
    I think I may have to get that folder!
    Your use of the peg stamps with the letter O is inspired! It's simply beautiful!
