Come join us for the Addicted to Stamps & More! #486 Make Your Mark Challenge.  Did you know there are now descriptions on the blog better explaining the focus of each of our five challenge categories?  Be sure to check them out.

For my card I colored the Pinkfresh Studio Poinsettia Frame using Polychromos colored pencils. I'm hoping to continue to hone my skills.  I did use one of the PFS Poinsettia Frame layering stencils to sponge in the creamy edges.
