First Center Stage Spotlight Design Team Blog Hop!!

Welcome to our first Center Stage Spotlight Design Team Blog Hop!

Jessica Fick, the Design Team Coordinator for GinaK Designs has issued a challenge to all of the past and present team CSS team members to make a Christmas card with one of these sketches:




We know you're going to LOVE what everyone has designed for us tonight!

Here is my creation. I started my card with a piece of White Pure Luxury CS, Then I added a piece of RocketRed Pure Luxury and some of the pretty digital paper from Vintage Holly (by Emily Giovanni) Using my Colluzle I cut a piece of Red and White Pure Luxury CS. I stamped the image using Real Red Ink ans colored it with Prismacolor Pencils. The ribbon and buttons are from Holiday Collection. I used some Pure Luxury Gold Cording in the buttons. The sentiment was stamped in real Red on White Pure Luxury CS. The back piece of CS is All Spruced Up
