First Christmas Card of 2010

Finally made a Christmas card over the weekend.  I just love the French Foliage poinsettia, so I made this one with Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke card stocks and inks.  Before adding the brad center, I spritzed it with the Vanilla Smooch Spritz (I hope that's what it's called - I'm too lazy to get up and go look right now).  The sentiment may be hard to see (yeah, and it's crooked, too, drats!), but it was stamped in Gold Encore ink and embossed with gold embossing powder.  The sentiment, I'm pretty sure, is from Many Merry Messages (again, too lazy to go look).  We'll likely make this one at my December stamp camp.  I love the Bisque Pottery technique for this one, too.  You can find a link for a tutorial video on this by checking out the post before this one.  Between this card and the 15 tags I made with this poinsettia, my right hand still is a little numb from all the cutting!!  Here's how it turned out:

Wow! What a great idea! I just finally got French Foliage and haven't inked it yet. Now I have Christmas stuff I can do with it!
