Elegant Poinsettia Card

Using the beautiful pre-coloured Christmas Poinsettia by Sparkle N Sprinkle, I created this card.



I stitched a border around to showcase this gorgeous flower.
I cut out the poinsettia 3 times and fussy cut 3 different layers. By adhering each layer to each other with foam squares, I was able to create beautiful dimension on my flower.
All that was left was to add some gems and adhere it to a 5.5" x 5.5" (when folded) cherry red card stock base from GinaK.



On the inside, I printed the sentiment that comes with the Poinsettia flower set. This is an awesome image set. It comes with a pre-coloured image, a non-coloured image and a couple of sentiments. To add a little colour to the inside, I stamped the holly and berries twice and coloured them with copic markers.


I'm so glad you stopped by today. Now it's your turn to make a project, using anything you like, and link it to our challenge #157 for your chance to win one of our wonderful sponsored prizes. You have till noon, CST, on Tuesday, 30 January 2018, to link your project to the Crafty Gals Corner blog.  And while you there, take a look at what my DT teamies made for your inspiration this week.
