sack and puppy: E40, E41, E42, E44
reds: R22, R24, R27, R29, R59

I'm not happy with this scanned picture, the red poinsettias are brighter than this, although the sparkle does show up quite well. And I just noticed that the little gold star in the centre of the left poinsettia has shifted - I'll have to try and push it back. The stamped image is called Shhh, by Penny Johnson for Stampavie and coloured with Copics, then I inked the edges with Walnut DI before adding the Platinum Stickles. I'm still in the inky mode but wonder if this card has come out a bit dark for my liking - but as it's a Christmas card I think I've gotten away with it. I've gone over the baubles, the star and Santa's belt buckle with a clear glaze pen but it doesn't show up. The red patterned digi papers from Cuddly Buddly have also been inked and stickled then to embellish I diecute the Marianne mini poinsettias and swirls plus punched out little pieces of frond from scraps of red card. At last, another Christmas card for my box .. .. 2 down and how many to go!

Cupcake Craft challenge is 'seeing red' this week, so as I have lots of red on my card, I'll enter!
