Fun challenges today! It's never too early to make Christmas cards & the technique is one I've admired for a while.
To make my card, I put the lady image into my Misti, stamped her w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics then overstamped w/ Versafine. I stamped the greeting under her then used a mask large enough to cover the greeting & also placed a mask on the lady. Then I stamped the flourish w/ the greens ink pad & used a ruler to draw the lines around the greeting.
After die cutting the panel, I edged it w/ a green marker & used a die that only does 1 stitched line above & below the greeting . A little stickles was added on the flourish.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups and Copic colors are on my blog:The Write Stuff

OH sweet. I adore old fashioned Christmas cards. She is so cute. Great job with the green marker before reading I thought it was a paper layer...well done. Never thought of that , might make a neat leyer look when you cannot find the right color of paper....LOVE it...TFS...super job on the challenges together.
