Stamped this image of a frame with poinsettias using versamark and embossed with gold EP. Then I stamped the verse and also embossed in gold. Used a lustrous oyster pearl CS as base but photo does not really show the shine of this lovely CS. Inside, the CS has a white matte finish making it great to stamp an inside sentiment. Finished with a sparkly gold bow made with Bow Easy. ...not too much sparkle for a man.
