*************************************************
Today's Advent sponsor is Catherine Pooler Designs.
I have been lucky to help Catherine with several of her last releases including her ink lines. IF YOU HAVEN'T checked out her ink yet, YOU MUST! It's phenomenal! Click HERE to visit the inks.
I've used the 'Tis the Season stamp set, which will be released soon as it was part of the holiday Stamp of Approval box. I stamped the poinsettia in Rockin' Red ink and the leaves in Eucalyptus (brand new color!). The centers and leaves with berries were gold heat embossed. These were all die cut with the matching dies. To create my background, I used the tiny snow stamp and larger berry stamp to white heat emboss a white panel. After embossing, It's a Boy ink from Catherine Pooler was blended over the panel using the emboss resist technique. To finish, I layered my poinsettias across my panel and added a white heat embossed sentiment on black cardstock with foam adhesive.
