Big congrats to Amber, this week's featured stamper chosen by Ardyth. Happy to see her posting again with some great cards. I was inspired by this beautiful card: French roses by ladystampz at Splitcoaststampers
Changed to a Christmas card so different image of flowers and leaves. I put a blob of liquid pearls on my silicone mat and used a small paintbrush to color in the berries. Left off the enamel dots.
Saw a sample in last years Christmas catty on p. 20 to inspire me- where you stamp holly leaves on main panel and also add diecut sprigs and holly beneath the popped up floral image. I hope you have a fun week admiring all the cards inspired by you Amber!

This is fabulous, Shirl. I adore the bright pink blooms and the holly berries shine beautifully. The stamped sprigs behind the die cut image look great (glad you spied that in your catty and used it). I can see that design working well with a lot of different florals. Gorgeous card filled with great cheer.

Very creative stamping and arranging, but my favorite part is all the pink and the Christmas theme (love the combination). Looks fabulous, Shirl. Hugz

Shirl, this is such a beautiful case of Amber's floral card. I love your coloring on the flowers and foliage and they pop perfectly against the white background.

What a vibrant and beautiful Christmas card. I read all the comments and agree with everyone of them. :-) I really like the addition of the die cut and stamped holly under the flowers. Thanks for pointing that out in your commentary. I need to get some of the larger florals. I really like what people (and I mean you) are doing with them.

Fabulous card, Shirl! Great take on the card you CASE'd! Love the bright colors, and that pretty greenery peeking out from underneath the main image.

Gorgeous! The design and your coloring/shading are marvelous. The die-cuts and the headline are excellent...
