Season's Greetings....Wait? WHAT???

Yes, you read that right....SEASON'S GREETINGS!!!!! It's getting to be that time of year where we must think about Christmas Cards. It kills me...I want Summer and my flip flops every single day of the year. But...it is just not meant to be. Hero Arts came out with a new catalog and a2z Scrapbooking and the Design Team are celebrating it this month. So our theme for the month is FALL & Christmas!

For my card I used two new sets from the Holiday Hero Arts catalog. They were instantly my favorites when I saw them and I have a lot of ideas in store for these. Here is today's card:


I started by stamping the Poinsettia's in Red Royal Mid-tone ink and the Holly Leaves in Forever Green. I then took my Prismacolor Pencils and shaded them. I love to add shading to a stamped image with colored pencils and blend it in with some Gamsol. I think it adds so much to it. I finished by adding a shadow in light gray, a few dots of Viva Pearl Dots (LOVE) and a sentiment embossed in Liquid Platinum.  

I finished with Wink of Stella....look at that sparkly goodness. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that pen!!!!
