MCV82 - Christmas in July!

Hi everyone!
As you can tell by my most recent blog posts, I am on a Christmas card making roll.  Today I have two more cards to share with you.  The first one was inspired by Jessica from All the Sparkle over at Muse: Christmas Visions.



I focused on Jess's:
  • Color scheme
  • use of Poinesttia's
  • Gold embossing
I am not good at Copic coloring, so I used my Zig Clean Color Markers.  I find I get much better results with these.  While I had my supplies out, I created a few more cards.

For this card I embossed using silver embossing powder and used a teal and pink color combo.


Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

  4. These don't look like they'd be easy to recreate for an entire batch, but they're soooo beautiful. The sentiment is perfect, and is surrounded by such beautiful Christmas foliage. And those colors!!! Each is absolutely stunning. Amazing cards. Bev

    1. Thank you Sistah! So nice to see a lovely comment from you. The poinsettia border stamp is by The Ton stamps and the sentiment stamps are from Papertrey Ink. :)

  8. Love both the colour combinations, but I'm partial to traditional red for poinsettias! Thanks for joining us at MCV's Christmas in July, Kristie!
