I kept: basic layout, colors, Christmas theme, and glitter technique. I changed: stamped images and color hues. I added: one layer and glitter dots.
The background panel is stamped with SU Always Artichoke and Kiwi Kiss using the Pine sprig stamp from SU Peaceful Wishes. Then I tamped a glue pad on the entire piece and heavily dusted with Martha Stewart Crystal Coarse Glitter. I allowed this panel to dry for approximately one hour while I colored the smaller panel. The bird is stamped twice, cut out, and layered. The poinsettias are colored with markers and dotted with a copic glitter pen. I like the way Dawn matted the smaller panel and followed suit. The design is adorned with Red Riding Hood double striped grosgrain ribbon and 3 ruby red glitter dots from Dress It Up. Love the sheen to this card - hope I captured a glimpse of it!
Thanx for looking!

This is just gorgeous. What a great sparkle panel. I love it. The pine leaves and the glitter are awesome. I have this cardinal image and have not even inked it up yet. Gorgeous inspiration. It is perfectly cased. Thank you so much for joining in on my special day. You are a huge inspiration to me.
