The Joy of Layers...

and the joy of Christmas! We're almost there...it's almost here...the most wonderful (stressful - lol) time of the year. Well, actually we are in the midst of the holiday season...for some of us, though who don't have our trees up or our cards written, we're almost there! LOL!!! I thought I would share another easy (but looks difficult ;) holiday card today, using two images from the latest release.



Isn't this giant poinsettia image so pretty? It's perfect for layering (hence my title!). This sketch came to me as I was driving to work the other day and I drew it on a receipt while at a light!!! It came out just like I pictured it...don't you love when that happens?

I stamped the image three times. Once on green and twice on red. I cut the entire image out of the green and just the flower out of the red. The green layer is attached directly to the sentiment panel and the red layers are each adhered with pop dots. Some yellow jewels and white gel pen accents finished the look. The sentiment is so pretty and fit so well with this sketch. The green panel on the below the focal panel was stamped with the DRS open plaid stamp. Their plaid stamps are so versatile and easy to use.

Some ribbon and jewels finished things off nicely! Thanks for checking in today...
See you soon...
