A Reflective Christmas Card

Hi everyone.  I have a card today, using one of the new A6 polymer stamps from Just Inklined.  Taking care not to get them confused with their digital stamps, these will be available here, at LaPache.  Such a great size, with lots of detail....perfect for those who prefer to get inky!


Coloured with a combination of markers and pencil, with some glossy accents for the berries, it basically steals the show.  Could have left it at that but went for a different shape for a change, which allowed for some pretty DP and a wee bit of embellishment.  Clean and simple, but sure looks nice and bright for Christmas!

Supplies used:
Christmas Cross stamp from LaPache
Paper from Basic Grey's Nordic Holiday collection
Swirl die from Magnolia
Martha Stewart Eyelet Lace corner punch

Now for a bit of sad news....my hubby is back in the hospital and things aren't going so good.  I'll have an occasional card to show, as I do have some ready on my desk, but most of my time will be spent elsewhere.  I may be MIA for a while, but I will be back.  Everyone take care, and give your loved ones an extra hug!!!!
