Hello, my friends! I feel like I haven't posted in forever! Last week I had my family over and so I took a little break. : ) Anyways, today I'm back with a post for Stamp TV's Monday Challenge: Christmas In July. And what a refreshing theme it is in the middle of a HOT summer!
Here's my card:
I used coordinating design paper (DP) from a K&E Company Christmas stack. To bring out the poinsettia, I stamped it on sparkly red paper (the sparkle doesn't show very well on the picture). I used Versa Mark ink to stamp the flower as I heat embossed it in gold. I then cut out the flower and placed it on the cardstock framed in the same red as the poinsettia.
The sentiment is also heat-embossed and I added some sparkle on the circle by layering gold paper lace and adding gold ink to the DP.
This post really got me thinking: Christmas will be here before we know it! Better start building up that stash of Christmas cards!
