I finally got to the SC253 challenge today. I decided to use the large image panel for my Christmas stamp.
I used the Merry Moments DSP, which has been embossed with Swiss Dots, although you can't really see it, along with real red and white card stock. I stamped the image with stazon brown, then went over the trees with my certainly celery marker, the church with Creamy Caramel Maker and So Saffron Marker for the window. I used a touch of flower soft below the tree, then sprinkled dazzling diamonds underneath the tree area and over the trees. Added a red silk ribbon to the image panel, piercing and the greeting. I added some red pearls ~thanks again Wattle-Kathy-they sure have come in handy~ and added 2 extra triangular pieces to the top corners of my image. The sketch only called for the triangular pieces in the middle and I thought it rounded it off nicely to add them to the top too. The first panel and the main image panel were popped up on dimensionals.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and if you have a chance, let me know what you think!

Another beauty, Pam! I love your image and the Flower Soft under the tree makes a pretty ground of snow, along with the Dazzling Diamonds. Your ribbon is divine and I love all the tabs and pearls. Another one down and how many to go?????????
