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

I like the way you've framed those pretty poinsettia's, Loll! This is a fabulous card!
What a great idea -- the postage stamp is an awesome frame for your beautiful poinsettias
Beautiful stencilling, Loll - the poinsettias work perfectly with the postage stamp die. I'll look forward to see what other Christmas cards you make using it.
A fab Christmas make Loll, I keep trying to get my hands on that PB set as I think it is so versatile as you've shown here. :)

A gorgeous card, I love that you mixed the colours too. x
I was totally inspired by your JOY cards last year, Loll. I don't have that specific postage stamp but I love the looks of your card with the stencil in the middle so I may be CASEing your card. Can't wait to see more.
Beautiful holiday card, Loll! I love your shading of the poinsettia panel! Sue N

Absolutely beautiful card, my dear Loll. I love how you used stencil TH to create this beautiful Christmas postage stamp. Great idea for a Christmas card.
Hugs,

Oh this is lovely. I adored your joy cards last year (and I will be making a few this year inspired by yours) I can't wait to see more of this style.
This postage stamp frame is a great one, Lolly, and it will be useful for any number of Christmas designs! You did a beautiful job with your free-style ink blending and I love the colors! No worries that you didn't get it in last week's I.D.E.A.S. You can go ahead and add it this week for INK since it works for that, too! Thank you in advance if you do!📌Love, Dolly
This Christmas postage stamp card is beautiful, Loll! I adore anything with a postage theme and this postage frame is perfect for so many styles of cards. The poinsettias fill the space perfectly. I can't wait to see more using this set.
