merry Christmas


Super quick post tonight to share another of the cards I created for the Papertrey Ink release.  This time, I was using the new Year of Flowers: Poinsettias.  I wanted the large poinsettia to really be the focus of my card so I went very clean and simple with my design.  I colored the image with copic markers.   Then, I added a little texture with the Holly Jolly impression plate and a little stitching.

Have a great Monday!
