Hi Again Stampers! 
Here is another card that I
created this past weekend for the FFC37 Festive Friday Inspiration Challenge
using the TSS22 ‘Tis The Season Sketch and the CQC252 ColourQ Challenge. 
Again, I hope you will the
chance to visit all of the challenge sites to check the wonderful Design Team
samples as well as their galleries!!
To create this card:
Trim and mount a piece of
Whisper White cardstock to the Early Espresso card base. Adhere a piece of Certainly Celery Designer
Series Paper (retired DSP from a hostess pack) onto a piece of Early Espresso
cardstock and mount on the background panel per the sketch.
Punch out the sentiment
using the XL Oval Punch and mount additional ovals of Real Red and Early
Espresso cardstock behind the sentiment and adhere to the card front.
Create the banner strip
using Early Espresso cardstock with a strip of the Certainly Celery DSP and
Crumb Cake cardstock (creating the banner points using the Hexagon Punch).
Either stamp the poinsettia
image from the retired Bells and Boughs using Memento™ Tuxedo Black ink onto
Whisper White cardstock or use My Digital Studio (MDS) to print the images out
onto Whisper White cardstock (I decided to use MDS so I could re-size the
images)
Color the poinsettia using
Stampin’ Blendabilities™ Cherry Cobbler Collection along with the retired
Certainly Celery Stampin’ Write marker and add shadows using the Crumb Cake Stampin’
Write marker.
Create the layered circle
using the 2 ½” Circle Punch- punch out
four circles (one from Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Real Red
cardstock), split each of the circles in half and adhere behind each other to
create the different layers.
Mount the “fussy-cut”
poinsettia image using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to the layered circle and add to
the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals® as well.
Add the Pearls to finish
off the card.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Julie! Your coloring is superb, and the pine branches look so real! Terrific job with the sketch!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for playing along with us at 'Tis The Season!
Julie, your card is stunning! Wow, you must have a lot of patience to do all that fussy cutting...especially the pine needles! ;) That's part of what makes it so beautiful though. Thanks for playing with us at 'Tis the Season.
