So which one is my favorite? Well, that is a hard one. Each set is like a child... how can you love one more than another? :-) But there is one set, particularly this time of year I find myself gravitating toward. That set is Blessed Christmas. It is one of the first sets I purchased when I discovered Our Daily Bread Designs. At that time, I was just starting to work with Copics and let me tell ya, I practiced and practiced and practiced with this set. It is one of those go to sets I pull out every Christmas. This time I opted not to color the image but do a very light inking/stamping with distress ink on the focal panel.
Here is what the entire set, Blessed Christmas, looks like. Isn't it lovely?

Simplicity at it's best...I love the textures and straight, clean lines...beautiful Lori!
Very nice! I had to tilt my head though. LOL
This is an awesome sketch design. I really like the muted color of the stamped poinsettia and how the sentiment really stands out. Great use of the little jingle bells too!!
WOW, Lori, my friend, this is simply gorgeous! Love the color scheme and those fun jungle bells! Hugs and blessings, Sabrina

Love love love this card Lori! And I have this set so I can try something similar! Thanks so much for the inspiration - I have not even started on my cards yet!
I can see so many possibilities for this stamp, no wonder it is one of your favorites. I really like the way you did it monochromatically. It's so different but still beautiful.
This card is beautiful I felt a calm feeling and will have to try to make this one thank you and the staff for inspiration

So simple yet so elegant too! Great idea! Love the added bells too!
Simply elegant, the jingle bells are the perfect touch, TFS!
This is wonderful, low in color but the style and design make up for that...truly unique ..
I just bought the poinsettia stamp and I am a Copic beginner. This one is fun to practice on! Your card is very pretty-very vintage!
I love that you didn't color it and have bells on it!
Beautiful card. Love how you stamped the image without coloring it. Very vintagy. TFS
This is beautiful. I love the little bells.
