Merry Monday 211 Use Blue, Gold, White/Silver.

This is Merry Monday's last challenge for a while, sniff. I just love making Christmas cards. I know there are other Christmas Card challenges out there...............
Have a look at MM's inspiration image, the colours are so gorgeous, regal even. The designer gallery is fab.




When I saw the image I immediately thought of an old Memory Box Poinsettia Bloom stamp I have. I have stamped and silver embossed it three times on vellum, then cut out different parts of each image for layering. The layers are coloured with Distress Ink. 
The large Fishtail banner is actually a matte gold paper.
The result is very me.

Happy stamping.
