I have two more Christmas designs today using new designs by Chocolate Baroque and will have more to show this month. I used Christmas Baubles, one of the new Big Bold Background stamps to create these cards.
This stamp image is so beautiful, I spent enjoyable time colouring it with Tom Bow Markers. I didn't want to add anything else except for the gauzy ribbon and a couple of rhinestones. I used a white Gelly Roll pen for the centres of the Poinsettias.
For the card below I cut out a couple of the baubles from the larger image.
The background sheet is from Chocolate Baroque's digital Printable Pages - Love Letters. I over stamped with the Pine Cone branch from the New England Winter set. I highlighted the cones a little with a white Prisma pencil and added a little stickles on both baubles. I attached the two baubles that were painted with Tom Bow markers.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

I have just ordered these baubles Shirley they are gorgeous and your two cards using them are wonderful. I love the tombow colouring, great colour choices, so rich and festive. The way you have used the New England stamp with the baubles in the second design was inspired, they work so well with the Love Letters download paper. I love that turquoisey green. Have a good day, Elaine xxx
One word, STUNNING, describes these two beautiful creations Shirley. I love them both. I love the colours and the way you've coloured them. My stamps have arrived, they are cut out and ready to go.
Hope your week is going well.

Looks and feels vintige/victorian; I think this is stunning! And that while using such a bright backgroundcolour! Inky greetings, Gerrina
The shading around the baubles in the first is so effective & I love the way the poinsettias really catch the eye through your use of colours. In the second it's your use of the New England stamp & I love the way your ribbon echoes the colour of the poinsettia bauble & how the deep red card base also helps to bring it out.

Hi Shirley! WOW WOW! These are absolutely gorgeous!! What a beautiful stamp image, really pretty! I just LOVE the way you coloured them all with the Tom Bows, very very beautifully done, the Christmas balls really come to life, they really are incredibly pretty! The second card is also absolutely gorgeous too! Really love those pine cone branches in there, and the great background too! Excellent combination with terrific colurs! Beautiful Shirley!

These are so beautiful. You did a fantastic coloring job, and these 2 beauties are making me want to go back for more drooling at CB. I kicked self after I placed the angel order for not adding the gothic window, but that will have to wait. I will have to see if these are available in digis...might be a tad less $$$! Both of these cards are wonderful...you are a fine rep for this company. I left a comment as to that! THanks for sharing & being such an enabler!!!! Hugs (and no I didn't realize I would need the mounting sheets, but think I have some...somewhere!)
Such beautiful cards Shirley. That stamp set is really lovely and the colours you have used are so pretty. Di xx
