This card reminds me of Maraschino Cherry Chocolates
We inked up the brayer with Close to Cocoa ink and ran it over the impressing side of the embossing folder so that when the white cardface was embossed, it had touches of cocoa on it. We used the swirl stamp from Baroque Motifs with Versamark on a piece of red cardstock and sprinkled on heat and stick powder. This was heated JUST UNTIL MELTED and then the chocolate glitter was added. We tapped off the excess glitter, heated it until it was set, and brushed off any excess glitter. Then we punched it out with the ornament punch from Page 24 of the Holiday Mini Catalogue. You could use almost any attractive image to create an ornament this way and any colour combination of cardstock and glitter.
