Diana's Blog, you're in the right place! :)
For my card today, I used the
Pinecone Christmas set. I decided to showcase the beautiful poinsettia image on dark cardstock. I stamped and embossed the outline image in gold on black cardstock and then colored the image in using colored pencils. The poinsettia on the sentiment panel was stamped and die cut on white and green cardstock using the coordinating
Poinsettia Pinecones Die Set. The sentiment was also stamped and embossed in gold.
Next on the hop is
Teresa!! Thanks for stopping by!
