Nancy Williams (nwilliams6) challenged me to make a Christmas card use the Natural Beauty stamp set. Although this is my most favorite set of all time, I don't believe I've ever used it for a Christmas card, and it was actually quite a challenge for me. Of course, I'm guessing there was a bit of over thinking on my part. I painted the floral image with Koi watercolor paints, and then chose colors of card stock that matched the paint. The leaves and oval are colored by sponging heavily with sponge daubers... first twisted citron and then mowed lawn.

Super creative, Melody. Awesome bright colors and super fun way to do the leaves - I love that idea. You are very creative with this set and this is such a fun challenge! Mine is going to have to wait until this weekend when I have a bit of time off from work. I am leaning toward lots and lots of glitter....lol. So fun. Hugz

The two of you (with Nancy) made beautiful cards with the set. I love those leaves on both your cards...so real looking. You have such a pretty image and design, too.
