My first one uses a wonderful stencil from Tim Holtz (Layered Poinsettia). I didn't bother to mask in-between the poinsettias and holly, opting to use a smaller stencil brush and being fairly careful, although the colours did get mixed a bit. :)
I used Distress Inks: Candied Apple, Aged Mahogany, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness. This is a great set of Christmas colours together.
The sentiment (Bright & Light - Penny Black) is stamped with more Candied Apple ink to finish the card.

That's the way to get them done, Loll! This one is so pretty, and the second photo really shows all the festive shine and gloss. I'll look forward to this series as I loved the Joy posts, too. Continued good wishes for your computer experience!
Very pretty Loll. Love the postage stamp image. Can't wait to see what other Christmas cards you make with it. Have a great week.
Such pretty poinsettias, Lolly, and they look awesome on the postage stamp die! I'm looking forward to seeing lots more using this die! Love the JOY series!
I too love the postage stamp/die set from PB, and it works so beautifully for a Christmas card! Your stenciling is wonderful and I'm loving the very faint red in with the holly leaves Loll...iit just adds another layer of festiveness to this already fabulous card! Can't wait to see the other Christmas cards that come using this postage set my friend! Hugs. :0)
This postage stamp shape makes a beautiful frame Loll and I love the prettily coloured stencil with the wonderful poinsettias and holly leaves and also the added postmark too, and the bright red sentiment finishes it perfectly. x
That stencil works so well within the stamp image. Such a lovely card. Hope your computer setting up all goes smoothly xx
