To make my Christmas card, I put the Poinsettia Corner image into my Misti, stamped & colored it w/ Copics, then added a little Copic opaque white pigment to the window sills. After it dried, I added a little stickles on top of the white pigment, waited for it to dry, then overstamped the image to bring back the details. I resized a rectangle die to make it smaller then used a stitched line die around the edges. The Welcome (love the font on this!) & Christmas words were put together to make the greeting. All of the designer paper pieces were left over strips & rectangles I put together as you see. For the texture, I added an embossed white layer for the upper right side & also a little more texture in the die cut grosgrain ribbon piece & embossed double bow. A few sparkly crystals finish it off.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.welcome-christmas-inside00022
