I am sure many of us card makers are now in panic mode about those special cards we need to make. The Stamp of the Week stamp over at Chocolate Baroque this week is a set of four gorgeous festive script stamps, you can see them here as a special multi-buy special offer. These stamps have a beautiful timeless quality.
This is a card I made last year with the Poinsettia Script stamp for the Chocolate Baroque Christmas card swap some of us take part in each year. I started off with embossing the image in a coppery EP, then added shading with Vintage Photo DI and painted with Mica Magic ink refills. I decoupaged some extra layers on the flower. I finished off with a sentiment, some artificial holly leaves and mounted the whole lot onto a green gingham DP with a little bit of ribbon - I love gingham on Christmas cards.
I hope I can carve out some time for this year's cards very soon!

This is gorgeous buddy! Love the image set against that gingham background and anything that has script on gets my vote, lol! Not that this is just 'anything'! It's a stunner and the poinsettia is beautiful. Er, I haven't made a start on my Christmas cards yet and I still have 3 VIP birthday cards to make, one before weekend, eeek! ~Where's my skates?!?
