I have a Christmas card for you today; when I saw this little Poinsettia Christmas set, I added it to my order of Verve Plain Janes. I liked the poinsettia, but I loved the sentiment and knew that it would fit beautifully into one of my Spellbinders Double Ended Tag dies. (It was close, but it did fit.)
I stamped the poinsettia on Natural White cardstock, then colored it with Copic markers. (Sorry about this, but I don't have the marker colors for you today; I colored the flower, took a picture, and put my markers away a few days ago, but then I had a program crash and lost a few pictures.) Next I chose some papers from Cosmo Cricket's Oh Joy Collection, Yuletide and Mitten, Mitten, as background papers. I used a new Spellbinders border die, the Deckle Border, for that vanilla strip. I sanded it a bit to emphasize the embossing, and then sewed it onto the background layer. On top of that, I sewed a little green strip from the back of the Yuletide paper to add a dash of color. The sentiment is stamped in SU's retired Cranberry Crisp ink and die cut with a Spellbinders Double Ended tag die. To fill in the brad holes, I chose a couple of the Kandi Corp hot fix crystals. A bit of Antique Linen Distress ink on edges finished the card off--one more for the stash!
Thank you for visiting.
