I used my ODBD set Blessed Christmas for the card. Blessed Christmas includes a beautiful poinsettia image and has a coordinating die making it easy peasy to cut out the image. I colored the poinsettia with the following Copic markers: R24, R27, R29, Y21, YG93 & YG93 and then die cut it with the coordinating die. I diecut the oval frame using my Heartfelt Creations Decorative Oval Window Die. A plain oval was cut using a Spellbinders die and then stamped with the sentiment from Blessed Christmas. The patterned paper is from the Basic Grey Jovial 6x6 pad. Thanks for taking a peek...

ReplyDeleteHi Rosemary :) I still love seeing Christmas Cards and this one is totally gorgeous. I always think that I should make a few every month and be ready at Christmas without the rush. The poinsettia on your card is my favorite. So beautiful!! :)
