Christmas Card with Try Stampin' on Tuesday #526

 A few months ago I purchased a pretty poinsettia vellum paper (Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper) that was on clearance from SU and finally got to use it in making this card. I paired it with Comfort and Joy paper from Close to My Heart, a scalloped circle punch and Merry Christmas Flourish sentiment.

My card layout was inspired by this fabulous Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #526:

Series of Christmas Cards with Freshly Made Sketch #464

 I really liked this week's Freshly Made Sketch #464 so I used it to create several Christmas cards. First I stamped Merry Christmas Trimmings with Evergreen or Intense Black Ink and colored the background with Light Green Blend Marker and Dark Red Blend Markers and laminated them. The papers came from Comfort and Joy, Mix-in November--December 2019 and November-December 2020. Evergreen Card Stock and Candy Apple Card Stock papers were used as mats. The cards are being displayed in the order in which I made them.  I would really like to know which you like best.
