My card is made with the October release from Our Daily Bread designs called Christmas Tree Collage. It's a real fun stamp to work with. I also used the border stamp from the Porch Set.
I used Memento Ink to stamp the image, then colored with Copics, adding glittery hints to the flames with a gold Spica Pen. The artwork detail in the stamp is all the shading you need! I used THoltz Distress Ink in Stormy Sky to stamp the border from the Porch Set. I sponged everything with Antique Linen, then Stormy Sky around the borders, and a little Adirondack Latte to age a bit. The base is Bazzill, also sponged. The dp is Websters Pages Botanical Christmas & Winter Fairy Tales Pack. I used Glossy Accents to gloss up the ornaments. I added a bow of seam binding, a shiny bling star, and two stick pins with beads in the two major tones of the card, and done. Very quick and easy!

Grace, the beauty pours from your work, and every time I get that "heart warming" feeling. Your blue bulbs are incredible, and the stick pins and ribbon are the perfect touch. Warm hugs sweet friend.....
