Today I'm playing along with the Double D Challenge where they have a lovely mood board for inspiration using POINSETTIA'S.
Don't you just love all the different colored Poinsettia's that are around now?! I have a lovely, lovely one that is a mix of deep burgundy and mauve colors, and with the deep green leaves it is just beautiful! I've been really hooked on a new stamp set this year from WPlus9 called Joyful Poinsettia which includes a background stamp, a single bloom, and beautiful sentiments, and that is what I used on my card for today. Take a look:
Here's a close up so you can see the detail a little better. I also embossed the sentiment in gold on black cs, and then fiddled for a loooooooong time with some gold cording behind the sentiment...I think that was the part that took the longest for this whole card!! This ended up being a very elegant card which is not my usual CAS style, but have to admit I like the way it came out! And thrilled that I have one more for next years Christmas card stash...never too early to get a head start in my opinion!!
Make sure you check out all the GORGEOUS inspiration cards from the DT and then play along right HERE. If I don't end up posting again before Christmas, I want to wish each and every one of you a very blessed Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
