ornamental gold adventure

This is another new stamp set I was pretty sure I "needed".  But I was kind of stumped after it arrived in my craft room.  I was watching another demonstrator use it this afternoon for a card she was doing in neutrals and I thought I'd CASE (copy and selectively edit or copy and share everything) her card for a starting point.  As I was getting set up, I decided it need to be gold instead of neutral, and then everything changed (except the stamp set).  Now it's just perfect for the current Jingle Belles challenge:

stamp set: Ornamental Envelopes; ink - Versamark, Crumb Cake (on the envelope); Stampin' emboss powder - gold; card stock - Gold Foil, Very Vanilla thick and regular

The reason I "needed" the set is because it's intended to decorate envelopes; there are address lines, corners, decorative lines that mimic the curve of the envelope flap, matching dies that scallop or cut a design through the envelope flap, and much more.  The reason I'm a little stumped is I'm used to "ornamenting" the envelopes using the stamp set that I used on the card.  I hope I get adjusted soon, but meanwhile, this is a good start.
