Christmas Gift

Today I chose to combine 2 Kitchen Sink Multi Step Stamp Sets: the Poinsettia and the Gift! These made such a great combination!  Last week I posted a Poinsettia in shades of pink but today I used red inks with a little yellow mixed with it and love the results! This is so easy to do using my Stamparatus. I love using multiple inks to make these images as they turn out so realistic!  The Poinsettias are very easy but the Gift was a snap to do and I love how it turned out!  Of course, I tried to use some of the same colored inks for the gift that are in the poinsettias and leaves. And I coordinated the colors with Stampin' Up's Under the Mistletoe designer paper and think it turned out pretty well.  I hope you like it!

Christmas Poinsettia

My card for today is the Christmas Poinsettia which I used the Kitchen Sink Multi Step Clear Stamp set, Poinsettia. These beautiful holiday flowers come in so many colors these days, I chose to go with pink and red inks in the mixture!  I was very pleased how it turned out and found this multi step stamp set to be easy to line up on my Stamparatus.  Several people here in Texas plant these flowers outside and they can get to be quite large as in 6 feet tall. I'm always amazed how they just automatically bloom this time of year. They are definitely a popular plant to set around your house or at the entrance of your home for holiday decor. I hope you like my card!
