Poinsettias

Merry Christmas!

I had a nice and quiet Christmas with my husband and our cats,
so I even managed to finish another Christmas card.

TIP:
If you cut out the poinsettia using parchment paper instead of plain cardstock, this will give the flower a "lighter" appearance. I also pinched the tops of the smallest die-cut together to give it a more natural look.


The layout is based on this week's sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.


Materials used:
Papers - MD (Eline's Vintage, christmas red & green)
Image - Bugaboo
Colouring - Derwent CS pencils
Poinsettias - MD creatables (2 sets)
Pearls - Viva pearl pen
Sentiment - Cuddly Buddly
Scalloped circle - Nestability

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Marianne's Design Divas - #6 It's Christmas
Sir Stampalot - Bingo (punch, flowers, pearls)
Bee Crafty - #57 It's Christmas (use digi)
Top Tip Tuesday - Anything Christmas
Derwents - Kerst/Christmas
