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!

LOVE the beautiful bg you've created and the rich, rich reds. It reminds me of some of Kittie's work. Those glitzy red brads are also a wonderful eyeful.

WOW Christine this is awesome and the amount of work you put into it. It is just BEAUTIFUL!
BTW - The package arrived yesterday and I was so surprised that we thought the same and put stamps in each package. I had that stamp on my wish list because the compliment is also in my inventory. You are such a sweetie!
