Hello, I have stepped out of Fall for a bit and back into Christmas, so it seems. Today’s card features a gorgeous new Spellbinder’s Better Press plate called Poinsettia Corner from the Better Press Christmas Collection. It is such a pretty plate that I know will help me get those Christmas cards finished.

Card Details: After I pressed my image on a grey BP-Cotton Panel, I did a mix of both watercolors and colored pencils. First, I came in with the watercolors and then used Prismas to give the details, that I clearly can not achieve on my own. It takes a true artist to be able to do that. I still can’t figure out where the light source is according to the resident artist, that I live with. He said, “I have the light coming from every direction.” LOL What does he know? LOL Well, I thought it turned out okay, prior to showing it to hubby. I think the white pencil on the berries and pinecone helped greatly. Anyway, I intentionally Pressed the image in an arc as I knew the layout I wanted to make. The Notched Corner Frames finished it off perfectly and I like the sentiment on the dark red. With a little greenery, berries, and gold paper dots in the corner, I was done.
