A Card, Finally! Edit: Crafting for a Cause

With the emphasis on tags, it has been over a week since I posted a card.  The Christmas cards I am sending out this year are fairly time consuming.  I needed a diversion.  I had this digital image printed up for several weeks so I grabbed it and turned it into a card.

The poinsettias are digital stamps by Doodle Pantry.  I copied the same image three times, turning them slightly before printing.  The flowers and leaves were colored with Copics and Prisma pencils.  The sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketch was a perfect way to use this.   Merry Christmas is stamped  with a Verve stamp.   I bought the ribbon just a few days ago with the intention of using it for packages but it was the perfect ribbon for this layout and I love the silver sparkle and shine to it.

If you compare the sketch to my card, you will see the ribbon placement is in the wrong place.  Confession time - after I adhered the ribbon to the designer paper, I glued the paper to the card upside down.  ( Be honest now - I know I am not the only one who has done that. )  Using Scor-tape, Tombow tape runner and Tombow Multi glue, there was no way that piece was coming off!!! so I just went with it.

EDIT:  After writing out this post, I read about the Kat Scrappiness Blog hop and the benefit for the Coffee Oasis.  I am a Washingtonian and I lived in Kitsap County for 15 years so I was excited to read about the Coffee Oasis. So I am editing this post to let you know about the  bloghop and benefit for this coffee house and their work with teens.  Please check it out and consider a donation.
