Christmas Star

Hey everyone!

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! :)

Scrap Rendez-Vous Guest Designer!

I'm excited to share this news with you today. Alexandra, from the Scrap Rendez-Vous blog, asked me to guest design today! They are showing a different designer everyday, all month long, and each of us is to share a sketch and a card. I have never created my own sketch, so it was a fun challenge for me!

Here is a peek at my card.


To see my sketch and the entire card, please visit Scrap Rendez-Vous. You could even leave me a comment over there if you like - I'd love that! :)

I want to thank Alex for inviting me to be a part of this fun month! Scrap Rendez-Vous is a wonderful blog, where 3 friends from, 3 different countries, enjoy sharing their love for scrapbooking and cardmaking with their readers.
