Beautiful Machine Stitching and Copic Coloring

I am so embarrassed! (and I feel terrible!) I completely missed these cards by Karen Howard in the gallery, and they are gorgeous! Way too pretty not to post, even though they are almost all Christmas cards. She even included the Copic marker colors that she used. And the stitching is perfect! Wow!!

Well… it is already the 10th of January, maybe we should all get a head start on our Christmas 2013 cards, right? :) (there, now I feel better.)
