Hello! I have been resisting making Christmas cards this early but there are so many challenges to make Christmas cards that I finally gave in and made one. I pulled out 2 GKD stamps from my Christmas stash to create this. I stamped the tree from Very Merry Christmas set by Theresa and the sentiment from Festive Frame by Melanie with GKD Black Onyx ink. I was very pleased with her new ink which I had just received in an order...it is indeed the blackest black ink. and works great with Copics! I colored the image with Copics G 99, R 24, 46, Y28, YG 63 and cut out with Nesties Rectangle die. I hardly used the rectangle or square dies but this was a good fit. My papers used were also from GKD - White , Red Velvet, and Fresh Asparagus. I embossed the green mat with Cuttlebug EF Divine Swirls. I kept this a simple design....no embellishments for easy mailing.
