I want to first thank those of you who stopped by and commented on my guest design post over at the Scrap Rendez-Vous blog yesterday. I really appreciate it - you guys are awesome! :)
I wanted to play some more with the Penny Black Poinsettia stamp. It's actually called Christmas Star and it's so pretty! I've made a couple of cards with it using reds, but because I work with flowers everyday at my job, I remembered a Christmas blog post I did last year, showing these beautiful purpley-blue poinsettias.
So I wanted to try and make a card, with this photo as my inspiration, and here's what I came up with.
Very simple, just stamped and colored. I used a few different Copics, in blues and purples, and the beautiful sentiment is also Penny Black. I layered the panel onto some pretty, BoBunny paper, from their 6x6 paper pad called, Midnight Frost.
Thanks for visiting me today! Hope everyone is having a good start to the week! :)
