For the Alpha "F" challenge. My "F"'s are Festive Berries inks, and flowers- (poinsettias) and flirty flamingo c.s.
I sponged DOX festive berries all over the bristol c.s. and then diecut them. On the e.f. I sponged the opal polish and on the stitched label I sponged the edges with Gold delicata. Label has dimensionals along the top and bottom to go over the ribbon. Ribbon is just adhered on the back and left loose on the front, because the bumps on the e.f showed and did not look good to me. I painted the flower centers with smooch and then diluted stickles with water and painted just a bit on the top petals. Ha, I did not really think about the fact that the sentiment has the word holly in it. I just grabbed it because it worked for the size of the framelit. So, no holly was harmed in the making of this card, lol. tfl

This is gorgeous, Shirl! That opal polish is so pretty as is the die cut holding your sentiment. I'm glad no holly was harmed in the making of this card, ha! Absolutely gorgeous, festive, and beautiful!

This is one gorgeous Christmas card Shirl! I love the gold shimmer you added to this wonderful embossing folder, to the top flower petals, flower centers and to the edges of this fancy label die. This whole card is not only gorgeous, but feels really festive too! ~Karen.

Such a beautiful card with all these elements - the inked embossed background, the large poinsettia flowers which match those on the embossed panel, and the big bold sentiment.
