A big CONGRATS to Allison, the Featured Stamper! What a super gallery she has! After much browsing, I kept coming back to her Celebrate the Season card. I kept the Christmas theme, the plaid and layout but I used different images, made my own plaid background (instead of using designer paper) and used a different die cut for my frame.
I stamped the main image twice on white card stock, colored them w/ Copics and cut out the just the holly leaves on one to attach on top of the matching area on the base image. After die cutting my frame, I used a Copic marker to add some color inbetween the two dies on the raised area.I used the plaid maker stamps and inks and a red Tombow marker to make my plaid background. The cut out image was attached on top of my frame w/ a die cut fancy lattice behind it and a dark red piece of card stock behind it. A few punched snowflakes were added in opposite corners and my 5.50 x 4.25 card was finished.
Congrats again, Allison & enjoy your week! Thanks so much for looking and all the details are on my blog: The Write Stuff

A FABULOUS case, Julie! OMGoodness to your handmade plaid--it is another STUNNING addition. The die cut lattice with rich red backing and gorgeous holly bring this together for one beautiful creation.
