Hello my stamping friends! Nancy here today!
I hope your Thanksgiving was full of joy, family, friends and food! Now we are in full swing for Christmas! I have most of my cards completed and my shopping is about 90% done. Ok, I cheat a little - I live far from my family so most of them get gift cards to their favorite stores, which makes my shopping very easy to do. So I tend to focus on pretty packaging for the gift cards - making and embellishing envelopes to hold the gift cards.
Today I have a very pretty card to show you.
It uses only one stamp - actually only part of the stamp. The stamp is called Poinsettias and can be found here. The stamp has two poinsettia blooms but I only used one for this card.
Since the image is traditional and classic I wanted to keep that feeling with the card. I used a fancy swirly die cut in white and mounted it on white cardstock. I used a spray adhesive on the die cut - found that it works best with those die cuts that have lots of open areas. And I love the white on white look. The poinsettia was colored with copics and mounted on a fancy edge pierced die cut
As I have done with most of my Christmas cards, I used a stardust gel pen to add some sparkle to the image - here is a close up.
Hop on over to the IBFS store to find thousands of stamps - there is something for everyone there!
Thanks for stopping by today!
Very pretty!
