Wishing You a Merry Christmas

 Happy Monday friends!

I have a card to share today using a Poinsettia Wishes stamp from Crafters Companion.

First I created the background using some Brusho colors. Next, I stamped and heat embossed the Poinsettia with Gold embossing pouder. I colored it up with watercolors and after that I added Ranger/Embossing Glaze and Glitter Stickles. The sentiment is from hÄnglar & Wings/Julens Magi stamp set and for the God Jul I used a Mandys die in both black foam and gold glitter paper. I colored in some seam binding and tied around the card. I finished the card with a nice half pearl.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

Gift Box

 Hello there friends!

I have  a gift box to share today, I like to do such things when I'm not creating cards, it´s always good to have one on hand for a gift or to fill with some sweets/chocolate.

I have used old papers/lace from my way too big stash together with old images that I cut out by hand and mounted in 3D.

Have a great weekend!

Hugs, Birgit
