"Red - This Christmas"  card
Size: 7"w x 5"h

I'm using one of the latest Quietfire Design Xmas stamps. Love it.

And it covers a few challenges:

Creatalicious challenge  #13 Vintage
Flourishes #81 Lace faux or real
Christmas Stamping  #65 Anything Goes (not necessarily an Xmas card this time and wouldn't you know it mine is an Xmas card - Sheesh)
Prairie Fairy Designs #34 Pearls & Lace
Totally Gorjuss #45 Xmas
Bee Crafty #37 Anything Goes
The Secrect Crafters Saturday  #98 Xmas
 

I'm having so much fun experimenting with border punches and creating ribbons and backgrounds with them. This card uses 3 punches layered on top of each other. MS punch around the page Iron Gate border #42-40013 & Eyelet Lace set #42-60013 punches, as well as EKS Edger Deco Scallop #54-40027). See Punch Tutorial HERE

I stamped the lace (Donna Salazar Lacey Godess") with Perfect Medium and embossed with detail white on a pearlized red cardstock.

Layered the ribbon border punches - the Iron Gate embossed with an Espresso/Gold mix; the Eyelet Lace embossed with white; and the Deco Scallop embossed with a Queen's Gold/Clear mix.

Stamped the Quote (Quietfire Design) with Versafine Black and clear embossed on white cardstock. Die cut with Spellbinders Labels Small and sponged Distress Fired Brick, Barn Door & Aged Mahogany around the edges. Adhered to card.

Rubber stamped the poinsettia (Stacy Stamps "Poinsettia set") with the black and colored with colored pencils, then cut out and adhered to card.

Added Half Pearls in gold on the ribbons and white on the quote piece.
