Wishing you a very Merry Christmas

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Contemporary Poinsettia Embossing Folder. I made a frame using Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics A and B Die Sets. Leaving the dies in place, I inked through them with Fired Brick Distress Ink using a Smoothie.

I then used a couple of the Poinsettia Stamps from John Lockwood's Poinsettia Elements Clear Stamp Set  and randomly stamped them around the frame using Vermillion Archival.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Vermillion Archival. I cut it out using another Matting Basics Die and inked through the die with Fired Brick. I cut one of Sue Wilson's Union Square Die Set.

I tied a bow using a piece of Red Solid Two Tone Ribbon. I stamped another poinsettia from John's set, cut it out using scissors and added it to my bow.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

Phill Martin has more shows on Hochanda today - I think they're at 9am, 12noon, 4pm and 7pm but do check the schedule.

Thanks for stopping by.
