Cheer


Another hot day (only 90s though) and another nearby wildfire.
Will this ever end?

I have a Christmas card for you today.  I have to start thinking COLD thoughts!


This card features a poinsettia stamp from Northwoods, embossed with Ranger SuperFine Detail Gold, and colored with Copics.  The dp/cs are SEI Alpine Frost, mounted on kraft.  SU! Vanilla was used for the stamping (Versamark, Encore Metallic Gold).  The ribbon die is from Spellbinders, gold metallic ribbon from Michaels, sentiment from an Inkadinkado set.  Petite scallop nestie was used for the poinsettia.  Sketch is courtesy of Jingle Belles.

I am also entering the following challenges:

Christmas Card Challenges - holiday with texture
Stampin with the Dragon - Christmas in August
Winter Wonderland - photo inspiration (color-inspired)

Thanks for stopping by!
