Memories Mist Poinsettia

This is a card that I made for challenges on SCS CC193 & SC203. I loved this color combo. Kraft never seems to be one of my go to colors, I don't know why, it's really pretty!
Here are the deets on the card. I stamped the image 3 times. I colored each in with my copic markers. I cut up two of the images and added the petals for the flower onto the main image with foam tape. I spritzed the flower with Memories Mist Gold spray and then added a Prima Center Kiss to the middle of the flower.
I tired my hand at paper piercing. It's not too even, but I didn't have a paper piercer, and was using a pin to make the holes. I don't know why I don't have this tool, it's only a few dollars! lol
I punched out a few branches using the MS branch punch (love this punch) and added them.
Let me know what you think!
Have a great day!

Big Daddy

This is probably the last Christmas Card that i will be making for this year. I think that i've saved the best for last. This is for my husband, Steve, who I always call Big Daddy. He's the best! he's kind, considerate, very generous, a wonderful husband and an excellent father. He's the love of my life. I know that he will love this card. He's proud of what i do, and shows off my cards to everyone...

For the flowers, OMG, what a pain...i stamped 4 images, water colored and then used crystal effects on the main image. I then cut out the other 3 images, so that the leaves could move, and used crystal effects again on all the images. IRL the flowers have a 3 dimensional look. I'm very happy with this card and can't wait to give it to him on Christmas morning! Thanks for looking...gotta go back to the kitchen and start baking!
