Hi again, a friend said that she was planning her Christmas card design this weekend.
That made me realize that it's not really that far away, so I thought I'd better start organizing my cards.
This one uses a modified sentiment and poinsettia stamp. The sentiment is part of a swirly Impression Obsession tree die. The stamp is a poinsettia stem from Memory Box that I fussy cut and layered.
I'm linking up to the challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday where the theme is a trio of colours.
At Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge the theme is holly.
I've used a Cuttlebug holly embossing folder.
At Cuttlebug Mania it's an anything goes theme and you need to use a manual machine like a Big Shot or Cuttlebug. I used an embossing folder and a tag and sentiment die with my Cuttlebug.
The sentiment part of my tree die was cut from scraps of white card. I painted them with Finetec Inca gold paint. So I'm also visiting the snippets playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.
Supplies:
Stamp: Memory Box poinsettia stem
Dies: MFT tag stax: Impression Obsession 106 S (swirly merry christmas tree)
Other: Ranger archival ink; red & green brushos; gold liquid pearls; gold Finetec paint;
Cuttlebug Holly embossing folder; gold cord.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

Cathy, this is just a simply stunning tag. Love the rich green with the holly embossing and the deep red of the gorgeous poinsettia. The sparkle of the gold sentiment really shines. TFS & Thanks for playing along in the HLS Holly Challenge.
This is an amazing snippets Christmas card, Cathy! It is scary to think how close it is to Christmas, especially with all the whooshing this year has already done!! Hugs, Darnell
