 Hi There-

Its Saturday and my day has been filled with laundry, college football, and putting together this card after having spend days stamping and die cutting and fussy cutting the smaller pieces because I ran out of patience. I fell in love with this stamp after seeing Yana Smakula's card.  I did use it as a jumping off point for my design.

There are several challenges this will go visit: We Love Stamping, Stamping Sensations and The Flower Challenge.


This new Happy Poinsettia from Simon Says Stamp is a fun flower and has lots of options with the included greenery pieces. I was able to add lots of "leaves". The sentiment also comes from Simon Says Stamp. The die for the panel is Nordic Frames from The Greetery and the jewels are from Pretty Pink Posh. I bought them for summer cards and they never made a good match...until now. YAY.

The theme at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations is Christmas. 

 

Thanks very much for visiting.

I can see why you wanted this stamp Cat as it's a beautiful Poinsettia and a rather nice font to the sentiment as well.

Many thanks for sharing and join us at We Love Stamping, Stamping Sensations and Allsorts Christmas challenges.
