Tonight I got to know Kristen's stamping for the first time as she was chosen as the Featured Stamper- Congratulations to you!! I enjoyed cruising through to your gallery and I chose your recent Christmas card to CASE:
I wanted to use the new SU Pure Poppy, so the color I used is more traditional. I also wanted to use a new Christmas image but it is considerably larger than Kristen's version. I was still able to create an embossed frame around the center oval. I colored the image using Copics with some golden stickles applied to the center of the pointsettias. I used some Creamy Caramel to distress the panel a bit Poppy ribbon finishes this off.
Hope you like it! Thanks for viewing and commenting.

This card is an eye popper. Pretty. The red is such a pretty red and I love how you put the frame around your image with embossing. I love the image and your coloring is beautiful. TFS
This turned out BEAUTIFULLY! I love your CASE of my recent Christmas card! The scalloped, embossed outline is perfect for your main image. LOVE LOVE LOVE the Poppy...so fresh.
