Ever since any of us can remember, purple has been daughter Val's favourite colour for anything and everything. So every card I make for her has to be purple, no matter the occasion! So this is her purple Christmas card for this year. :-)
I stamped the larger poinsettia from my "Vintage Christmas" stamp set for Whimsy Stamps onto brown card stock. It isn't "kraft" but it looks like it (kinda). I wanted to use pencil crayons this time for the colouring. I got inspired by Annika, who has been doing a lot of pencil crayon colouring these days. I used Copic White in places when I was done to intensify the white in places.
The sentiment inside was done using a digital sentiment by Ann of Raindrop Echo Designs, also for Whimsy Stamps. It is from her "Christmas Sentiments" collection. I simply brought it into my Photoshop Elements program to add some colour with the paint bucket tool. Fun!
Enjoy your holidays folks! I know I will! Thanks for coming by today!
Fab card and I'm sure she'll love it, merry christmas.
