Welcome, thanks for stopping in! Today's card is made up of three challenges. I usually always start with a sketch and work from there and today's sketch is from Try Stamping on Tuesday. One of the things I like about their sketches is that you have a little over 2 weeks to figure out what you want to do. The other two challenges are Sparkles Christmas Challenge # 129 Flora or Fauna and CAS Christmas "gray and red" which is one of my favorite combinations and since I bought SU's DSP Peaceful Place, I will be making quite a few gray/color cards this season! The poinsettia is from Poinsettia Petals, which along with the die cuts is in the current SU catalog. The leaves from a retired set Amaryllis Abloom provide a tone on tone look behind the wood look oval and the base is smoky gray. The poinsettia is water colored with Real Red and Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil. I am trying to kick my pepsi habit, and coffee just doesn't do it for me, so I apologize for how dull this must sound! Have a safe weekend, Kathy
This is beautiful!
