Xmas Poinsettia

Hi Everyone,

I have a card to share today that I made using the sketch at the latest Christmas Card Throwdown challenge

                                     

This is my take on the sketch



I used a Penny Black set that was a magazine freebie years ago, I stamped the Poinsettia 3 times and coloured with Promarkers then fussy cut them out which took absolutely ages lol. I used some satin gold card as a mat then cut the circle slightly off the edge of some white card and layered that onto the stripey paper which is from a pad from The Works.
I then popped the flowers up with glue gel and used some gold liquid pearls for the centres.
The sentiment is from the same stamp set and I really love the font.

I would like to enter the following Challenges:

Christmas Card Throwdown 03 - Sketch
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge March
Creative Inspirations March Challenge - Any Occasion
The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes
The Merry Christmas Challenge #10 - Anything Christmas

That's all for now,
Hugs Kaz xxx
