I make a lot of Christmas cards but most of the time I like to send out photo Christmas cards. I love receiving photo cards also - to see my friends and especially kids grow throughout the year. And I keep them all! So I will usually give away the Christmas cards I make but my friend had a great suggestion - to just make them into Thank you cards. So I'm really ahead of the game because I'll have thank you cards ready to go!
No surprise but these dies from Quietfire Design complete these cards made easy by Sizzix Poinsettia die. This die is so easy to use and so effective - love the negative die cut look and since I filled some of the petals with green, I also get the look of inlaid die cut. The Thanks above is from gold card stock.
The black Thanks above is made with Modern Gilding Powder Gothic Black. Below I decided to change things up a bit (this is the fun part of making more than one card with the same focal die). I made the poinsettia white, sponged the center a bit of yellow and green. But I also used the Modern Gilding Powder Kell's Gold on the stamens and a double layer on the Believe. It looks perfectly decadent in real life!
