Christmas Blessings



Hello....

Playing in several challenges today with this Christmas card.

Over at Merry Monday, they are looking for a Red & Gold card.
After die cutting the Poinsettia Ribbon, I inked it with VersaMark and heat set with Gold powder.
The individual leaves of the die cut were colored with Copics. To finish the flowers, I dotted on some Pitt Artist Pen White....love!


I used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch for my card, as well as a little Plaid paper so I could play in the Curtain Call Challenge:

 

I still have a few Holiday cards to make...unbelievable, as I feel I have been making them since Valentines Day 2015.
