A Midnight Throwdown with ODBD

Like my play on words? I made this card using this week's MMSC28 Christmas challenge and Color Throwdown #69...loved the sketch and loved the color combination!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the poinsettias in the ODBD November sets! I used the smaller poinsettia which is from the Luke 2:11 set. I can't stamp it just once...I HAVE to always layer my poinsettia because it's just gosh darn prettier and fuller that way!
 The 3 November sets are also available for purchase as a bundle at a 10% discount! Actually, any sets that are considered a "bundle" are discounted 10% so make sure to look around!

Card Recipe:

Stamp: ODBD Luke 2:11 and Christmas Verses

Ink: Versamark

Paper: Me & My Big Ideas Harvest pad, Prism Metallic Bronze, Prism Classic Red, SU Old Olive

Accessories: Super Fine Detail and Gold Tinsel ep (50/50 mixture), Pearlized Carnelian ep, Basic Grey Wine/Champagne Opalines, bronze cross charm, Cuttlebug Organic Flourish ef

    Absolutely, without a doubt....stunning!!! I love how you did the word "Jesus"...it looks like one of those metal word embellishments. And the poinsettia with the pearls are exquisite. Thanks for playing along with us at Midnight Madness. It is always a thrill to come here to see your work.
