For the TSC Friday challenge, we were to create a religious Christmas card.
I chose SU! Christ is Born stamp set....Love it! I stamped the poinsettias with Colorbox red ink and used gold stickles for the centers. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and heat embossed it with black ep.
I used SU! ticket corner punch for the corners, mounted onto black cs and then onto red cs. I added the four white brads and I'm done!
What do you think?

This is beautiful Lesley. This is a great reminder of what we really need to celebrate at Christmas time. The colorbox ink makes the poinsettias look so rich. The addition of the stickles is a perfect finishing touch. I always struggle with where to place my images when stamped like this. Yours look great. Really nice card.
