MCV100 Merry Christmas

I'm popping in with a quick post and a card celebrating the 100th Christmas challenge party at Muse: ChristmasVisions. Congrats to Ardyth and the inspirational muses.

Here's my card:


Below is the inspiration card from our Christmas Muse, Chriss:


I copied all of Chriss's elements: flower arrangement with one white poinsettia and three red ones plus greenery, blue background and gold embossed sentiment. I stamped the white poinsettia (Winnie and Walter) in Antique linen distress ink, masked it off and then stamped the red poinsettias and holly (Uniko) using dye inks (Frayed leaf - Altenew, Pale tomato - HA and Ruby red - Altenew). I coloured in the white poinsettia and the background using Prismacolors. The sentiment stamp is an older one by Elle's Studio. I adhered my die cut panel (SSS stitched rectangle) flat onto my card base.

I'm also linking up my card at:

SSS Wednesday - Use more than one stamp

ABC Christmas - K for Keep it simple

ATSM - 293 Holiday


It's also time for the May Rudolph Days at Maureen's blog
