I would like to take this opportunity to extend a "Holiday Thank You" for all your visits & comments here at my blog. I appreciate all your kinds words. I've truly enjoyed blogging this past few months and meeting friendly & very talented bloggers ! It's so wonderful that we can share ideas across the world so easily !
I also took this opportunity to try out the new stamps that I received with a recent Outline challenge win ! I used Outline Round Posies H-1037 X Lg, G-1038 Lg. & E-1039 Med and also F1049 Posy Greeting Centers (Thank you) to create this card.
I also used Designer Papers from my supply/stash. A couple are from Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium Collection (Christmas 2010) and the dark green is from BoBunny A gift of Love (also from Christmas 2010). Unfortunatley I don't have much of these left as they are gorgeous.
I stamped & embossed in gold the X-Lg & Lg posies on dark green designer paper and also on a gold/cream. I stamped the Med. Posy once on the gold/cream paper. I cut the outside edge from the dark green and layered onto the gold/cream as shown in the photo above. I cut the outside edge from the gold/cream on the Med. Posy and used as the final layer and then added the Thank You Posy Greeting in the Center.
The flower was layered onto BoBunny Dark Green designer paper and then onto Graphic 45 with the holly design and the final layer is dark green card stock. A few Gold Metallic Leaves and Gold Ribbon along with a small flower charm that matches the design of the posy were the final touches.
In spite of a huge stash of ribbon I just didn't have the right red to co-ordinate. I thought it would be a nice touch with red, but the gold blends in with the rest !
Thanks for stopping by and have a very Happy New Year !
Cheers
Shirley

Love the layering of the flowers... the mix and match flowers are some of my most favorite stamps from Outlines! The little flower charm and the skeleton leaves add a lovely feminine touch to this fab card! Happy New Year!
