TWO CARDS
I had to make something, just had to, to enter the Midas Touch Challenge at Christmas Kickstart Challenge. After I colored the poinsettia with Copic markers, I added some Wink of Stella to the lighter leaves. Thank you to one of my DTs from Die Cut Divas, I had this beautiful gold frame to work with. I thought the sentiment was perfect.

I love how one set of stamps and dies made this challenge easier to fulfill the challenge. This is definitely going to be in my Christmas card batch to give to a friend in December 2024.
