Christmas in September?

Yup... you read that right!! I’ve already begun the long haul of Christmas card  creations for all my friends and family.  I think Christmas cards are my all time favorite cards to create.  There’s just something so beautiful about snow and greenery and the happiness of the season.  To get the creative juices flowing I've also had the holiday tunes a playin' too! :)

So today I’m sharing a card using the Power Poppy stunning “Poinsettia” stamp set collection.  I also incorporated a sentiment from the “Wreaths Plain & Fancy” set as well.

Copic Markers: G00, G02, G03, YG0000, YG00, YG01, Y15, R000, R00, R01, R02, BG72, BV31, BV23

Here’s a little close up of the Glaze pen on my poinsettia centers  and pomegranates, along with some Clear Wink of Stella on the pinky coloured banner.

Today's card was based on the newest sketch by Freshly Made Sketches, #253:
