Floral Festivities

Today I'd like to share another Christmas card, this one from Crafter's Companion, using Floral Festivities.

The Penny Black, Grateful Stackers dies that I used, really enhanced this card.

 

After stamping the image I used my Copic markers for the coloring.  As mentioned above, I used the Penny Black, Grateful Stackers dies for the image and for the burgundy striped background cardstock.  

I secured both layers to a standard A2 card base and added the light blue organza ribbon at the fold with the bow toward the top.  I finished the design by adding Diamond Stickles to all the ornaments and then securing a burgundy wax Merry Christmas seal at the bottom right corner. 

The seal does require a piece of 'bubble envelope' over it for mailing and I did have all this type hand stamped.  I don't think the wax seal would survive the metered stamp machine!  But they are so pretty and detailed, and add a special touch to the cards. 

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.
