Oh my goodness I can't believe I have made my first Christmas card in June... The challenge over at "A
Blog Named Hero" is to use the "Kissing Technique" and after I had played around with a few stamps, this background was my favourite using my Hero Arts Friend definition stamp and the leaf and floral background. The silver and red together immediately made me think Christmas and this is the resulting card. The poinsettia is made using a sizzix die, the petals have been dry embossed using a herringbone embossing die for texture, I have also used lots of Old Paper distress ink.
Hope you are all having a great week, and once again I would like to thank all my visitors for all the lovely comments you are leaving me.

Your background is wonderful! You really found a perfect design combination for that technique. Great texture on the poinsettia too! Old Paper is one of my favorite go to inks.
