SSCB #25 - Happy Holidays!!

Here we are again for the new Serendipity Stamps challenge- this week the challenge is to make a "shaped" card!!!

Now, I will say mine is not a very creative shape, AND I had other ideas originally- but, I really wanted to color up this  Poinsettia Basket image and didn't think ahead! After they were colored and it was time to add the shape...this is the only shape that I had to accommodate! BUT- Aren't they gorgeous!! All the fine detail in the image is fabulous!! I stamped mine with Memento Tuxedo black onto XPress It blending CS and colored with copics. Added some gold pearls in the centers for a little bling. Tried adding bows {at the top, on the side.... didn't work...} This poinsettia basket just wanted to SHINE on its' own :-)

Did stamp the inside with a another Serendipity image... Holly with Frame and Happy Holidays sentiment!!

Hope you find time to join us, and...
