New Power Poppy #2: Enchanted Branches - Nativity

 Are you ready for more Power Poppy?




I'm back with Enchanted Branches - Nativity today.  There are beautiful images in this set, centered around the Nativity, as you might have guessed, and you can hang them as ornaments or use them as is.  I chose to create a simple image panel with ornaments.



I drew the ornament strings and sparkled everything up with a gold Spica glitter pen and Wink of Stella.  Dropped gold gems in the centers, sponged the edges with saffron ink while the die was still in place.  I think you can make out all the card's details from the photos.



I'm keeping my posts short for this release because I've been making lots of cards, and you have lots to look at!  All information about the stamp sets and designer links are on the Power Poppy Blog, so be sure and check there.  Thank you so much for stopping by!
