Goodies from StampFest 2012 Orlando

First Christmas card for July using the background stamps I bought yesterday from Obsession Impression.  For tis card I used a bird on a branch from Inkadinkado.  I stamped it in Island Indigo and clear embossed it, added some red marker and cut with a Spellbinders Nestabilities circle.  I was following the sketch and the color challenges from Splitcoaststampers.com.  On the white card I use a Stampin’ Up! embossing folder Snowburst.  The inks are SU also – Pool Party and Island Indigo.  I created the panels with my OI stamps, and added the swirls to one from the Season of Joy stamp set, as is the sentiment.  I wrapped a panel with DMC floss for my only embellishment.

 Here is a pic of my happy group who went to StampFest.
