I don't have the stamp set being featured, but I was inspired to use what I do have by Shay's Happy Christmas poinsettia card. I loved her use of the scalloped panel with stamped elements in the right corner and a sentiment. That's where I intended to go, too, but this card didn't want to stop there.
I stamped and fussy-cut the pine branches using 2 shades of green ink, then arranged them before gluing them down only at their bases, so that the rest of the image looks more dimensional. I did the same with the berry sprigs, inserting them amongst the pine, and lastly popped my cardinal above everything. I sprinkled on a few sequins - what's a Christmas card without a little bit of sparkle? The inner scalloped panel was popped above the bigger panel and the card base - I love the dimensional effect this gives!
Gorgeous card, Lin! Love, love, love! ♥
