I am very much inspired by non-traditional Christmas colors lately, and aqua being one of my favorites colors made its way onto this simple Christmas card.
I used my regular size MISTI and stamped the Holiday background in Simon’s embossing ink onto a panel of white cardstock. I added white embossing powder and heat set it to melt. I used two colors of Simon’s dye ink to add color and did a resist ink blending technique. I started with High Dive at the bottom and Spring Rain at the top. I’m not going to lie, this background was heavily inspired by Laura Bassen.
I am also in love with the new Poinsettia stamp set. They are like snowflakes, you can never have too many! I stamped it in Simon’s Intense Black ink onto X-press It Copic Blending paper and colored using several Copic markers. There are coordinating dies available and I used them to cut my images out.
I foam mounted the poinsettia and the leaves onto the ink blended panel which I had previously adhered onto an A2 top folding card base.
I didn’t want to add any additional sentiment as the background says it all. I did however add a few small and medium clear droplets from Pretty Pink Posh as little dew drops to finish this card.

Fabulous cards! Thanks so much for the inspiration!!
Both cards are beautiful and show the different looks that can be created from this SSS release. I think Laura inspires everyone and so do you! 🙂
I like the color combinations on the poinsettia card. Making wood out of the circle background is genius! Always love your cards and tutorials.
Great cards!
Very nice cards.
Great card for guys!!!!
Gorgeous card! The aqua background is stunning 🙂
I love the colors for your cards. I know you are an “aqua girl” and so am I, but I also love the masculine coloring of the other card. Thanks for sharing!
I love the blue background with the contrast of the poinsettia. Love your cards!
Great cards!
I always love your cards. This release if so pretty! I love how you used both of the background stamps.
Love how you use the Circle Doodle Background. So beautiful, looks like wood logs.

Beautiful cards
Love both of these….the background stamp is a ‘must have’.
Beautiful cards! It will be say to choose stamp sets this year!
I love that new background stamp and your Embossing really makes the shapes pop. How fabulous the way you coloured it to look like a wood sliced background. it makes a lovely card.
Love both of these! I love the turquoise background on any card. It makes your poinsettia pop! Love your masculine card, too. We are a family of deer hunters, so this is great!
I love the pops of white on your first card, it’s so soothing and restful. Beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win.
I always love your cards. The blue background is stunning. You always make me smile
both cards are absolutely amazing!!! love the way you used the background stamp on the second one…brilliant!!
I can always count on you to see something completely different than what I see when I look at stamps. I would never have seen the Circle Doodles s as cross sections of wood! Thanks for the inspiration, as always. P.S. No bright gold or grass??!! I still love the result!
Bright and cheerful cards1
The deer stamp is so wonderful! I like your cards!
We have a same name, only different written 🙂

great ideas!
Wow!! I LOVE that color with that background stamp!! Beautiful cards!!
Beautiful cards! I love the background of heat embossed Christmas sentiments! I would have never thought wood for the circles. I am always amazed at people who can see stamps beyond just want you see on the surface!
