Clear Christmas Cards with "Tinsel"

Glitter is so messy to work with, but none more so than tinsel glitter. *shudder* Being glutton for punishment after a "brilliant" idea, I proceeded to work with it anyway, along with my Xyron and some vellum cardstock.

There are usually things I would change about completed cards and these are no exception. However, they're still very pretty! ;)

This one uses Papertrey Ink's Vintage Ornaments dies and Victorian Lace border die. Lots of silver heat embossing...

This card was inspired by this one from the most recent Denami Blog Hop. Sorry for the glare... The border is the negative from the Victorian Lace border. I got this idea from Niki Estes, though I do try to use my scraps.... :)
