CSS Challenge Blog Hop

It's time for another CenterStage Spotlight Challenge Blog hop!
Hostess: Jessica Fick {Design Team Coordinator}
Theme: Stamp and color the image on Patterned Paper { any occasion card acceptable, it doesn't have to be Christmas themed} { image may be cut out and layered, but must be stamped and colored on patterned paper}
Requirement: any GinaK Designs stamp set & Glitter
Bonus Challenge: decorate the inside of your card to coordinate.

I have two cards to share with you tonight.

The first one uses the poinsettia from A Year of Flowers. I stamped two poinsettia's on dp with Memento's Tuxedo Black ink, colored them with copics, cut them out and added stickles to make them sparkle before layering them.
I took a piece of Ruby Red cs spritzed it with water then crumpled it up to make the cs all wrinkled. The sentiment is from Festive Frames and is cut out with a spellbinders tag and I used a gold leafing pen around the edge of the tag. I got a piercing template for my Birthday and used that to pierce the pattern on the Sage Shadow cs. Gold cord is wrapped around the top. I finished off the card with Gold pearls.

On to the next card... For this card I used the stamp set Winter Friends. The snowmen are stamped on dp with Tuxedo Black ink and colored with copics. I added glitter to the snow woman's sweater, edge of her scarf and the trim of her hat. I added Ice Clear Roxs to the ground below the snowmen to look like snow. The sentiment is from Holiday Hospitality. Here is the inside of the card. The presents and sentiment are stamped on dp, colored with copics and all glittered up.

Are you ready to see some more eye candy?
