For this week's fun sketch I stamped and heat embossed the focal image and then colored it with Copic markers. I selected black cs to be my background and dry embossed it with my stripes ef. I heat embossed the sentiment and punched it out with the Word Window punch, raising the sentiment with dimensionals.
The scary part was cutting my focal image into the three strips. After doing that, I added them to the background and called it finished.
Thanks for looking!

This is so pretty. the black BG picks up the detail lines in the petals of the Poinsettias! Beautiful card! It is scary to cut something you just took a lot of time coloring isn't it.

Never fear- Zorro is here to slash your pretty poinsettias! I like the contrast between the diagonals on the back panel and the three front panels. Nice.
