Our Guest Designer is Vicky Hayes. Vicky is a lovely person and a very talented card maker who works wonders with design and color. Do yourself a favor and take a stroll through her blog for some wonderful inspiration. You will be so glad you did.

My card is created very simply using foiling and embossing. I printed a full sheet of card stock on a laser printer to use for foiling. I applied Ken Oliver's Stick It adhesive to the back of the piece from which I was going to die cut the Memory Box Flowering Christmas Tree. Once I cut the tree, I covered it with Gina K's Glittering Green Fancy Foil foil, and ran it through my laminator. I embossed the sentiment from Stamp Simply's O Christmas Tree on the card front, peeled the backing off the tree and adhered it to the card front to complete the card.

I used Uniko's gorgeous Season Of Beauty stamp set to crete my card. I stamped 2 of the layered poinsettias with 6 shades of pink/red Altenew inks. I fussy cut them, and popped them up over some of the greenery that I stamped on the card base. The centers of the flowers were stamped with Delecata gold ink. I added one of the beautiful sentiments from the set to complete the card.

I am into experimenting with foiling these days. I used a stencil from Brutis Monroe and applied transfer gel. After It dried, I applied a piece of purple foil, and ran It through my laminator. The result was wonderful except for a little glitch on the right. I still like the way it turned out. I used a sentiment from Happy Little Stampers Beautiful Butterflies to complete my card.
