Verve & Festive Friday {Bright Spirits}


Happy Saturday! Today I had the chance to play along at Verve. I love using my Spellbinders Poinsettia die and I used my Copic markers to add some "veins" to the poinsettia bloom. I like the dimension it added! I used an old MME paper pad...felt good to use some of it up. The doily comes from Doodlebug.

Bright Spirits

I used a brand new set I just ordered from VERVE called "Bright Spirits".


I enjoy non-traditional Christmas cards but I really love the impact of Kraft, Red, Green and Black. Using some distress inks, I sponged every edge but left the doily white. The music notes are an old background stamp I own...I stamped it in Kraft ink and sponged it too. 


I am playing along with the following challenges:
