Merry Monday # 105 Decorative Christmas Words

Decorative Christmas Words
to be used on our
On a piece of rustic cream cardstock, I stamped the poinsettias and leaves from  PTI's Peaceful Poinsettia stamp set.
Next I die cut the word:  "holiday" from the stamped card.
I then cut out the word in both black and pure poppy.
I laid the black piece inside the negative space, layered the red over it and slightly off,
then placed the die cut stamped word over that, again slightly off.
the "greetings" is from PTI's Stylish Sentiments:  Christmas
 
 
Thanks for taking a look!
Heart Hugs,
Colleen

LOVE this card Colleen! I use the merry and peace dies from this set all the time, but never use the holiday die, but you've definitely given me food for thought with your card! Love how you did the off-setting of the word and those poinsettia's are just beautiful...great card!! :0)
