Look, after all the Halloween and Thanksgiving cards this month, I've actually done a Christmas card! That beautiful image is from Lemon Shortbread.
I colored with ProMarkers, added yellow Nuvo Crystal Drops to the centers of the poinsettias, then used a Memory Box die to cut the image. The dp is from an old stack by K & Co. found in my stash, and the deep, forest green is CS which I embossed with my "Linen" folder. The leaves were cut with a Cheery Lynn die and I added glitter to them for some Christmas sparkle.
The card base is made from kraft CS and, after the papers were added but before the leaves or image, I wrapped sparkly, golden, ribbon around the bottom, then added all the other pieces, including the sentiment.

I used the sketch at Try Stamping on Tuesday
for inspiration, but turned it sideways.
