I just love Christmas... but it is a challenge to think of Christmas using Spring florals and pastels as your inspiration. I gave it a go...
I have a pretty Christmas stamp that actually did NOT have a poinsettia on it! It is from Hunky Dory. The sentiment came with the stamp (there is also a die set with it but I did not use it today). I stamped the image and sentiment on 110# white card stock with Memento Luxe Black Ink and Whisper Clear Gloss embossing powder. Then I had to think pastels. Peach is just about my favorite color. I used Spectrum Noir Markers CR1-CR6 to color the ornaments, the bow and the flower. The leaves are LG2 and LG3. The stem is TN5. Now I love bling and it was tempting but the card is just so busy so I had to restrain myself! I only added one rhinestone (a pale green) to the center of the large ornament. I mounted my panel on coral card stock and used a white card stock base. Only 260 days until Christmas! ~ Gracie
