FS556 - the super talented Jeannie {aka Lv2grdn}. I have loved her gallery for quite some time. She has some fantastic inspiration. I found this CARD. The green in the card drew me in for a closer look.

I used brushos to get a similar green on my card. Then rather than black as the accent I used red. 

Kepting the focal as a large sentiment, I used this copper die cut Believe that I got from Polly (peeps123). Thanks Polly.

I have had this stamp set since 2002 and never used this image on a card - GASP! I could never get a good impression of the image with all the detail until I took it off the block and put it in my Misti.

Once colored I added some coordinating Christmas DP and embossed the top finished off with ribbon.
