I love making Christmas cards all year & now that I've found Merry Monday, it will be weekly. I love this gorgeous Penny Black poinsettia script stamp, but didn't get a card made with it last year. Needed to use my Distress Paints so inked up the stamp with spun sugar & fired brick, spritzed & stamped on watercolor paper. Then I
overstamped using Delicata Golden Glitz, sponged the edges with the gold & Distress Ink gathered twigs & dry embossed it. The effect of the gold is amazing in real life. The strip is colored with the same paints & inks before the Stampendous! sentiment is stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia & the piece is dry embossed. The kraft card is also sponged with gathered twigs. 
Hope you're having a great weekend. I'm really happy you came by.
This looks wonderful/ I loved the effect of the Delicata Golden Glitz so much I googled where to find it. Have put it on my Shopping list for my next trip down to America. I can get it at Joanne's which is about 40 minutes away from me as I live quite close tot he American border.
