Crafty Gals Corner #229 ~ Add a Flower

  Hello crafting friends and welcome back to another fun challenge

 starting today at Crafty Gals Corner! 

Challenge #229 ~ Add a Flower

Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is 

Beccy's Place

Prize ~  $10 Gift Certificate

I decided to add a Poinsettia flower in the form of a stitched edge to my card. I think this lovely edger is perfect to showcase the beautiful  Quilted Santa digital image I used from Beccy's Place.

I printed this Santa pre-coloured digi onto photo paper. I love the vibrant colours that came out.  So festive, don't you think? I adhered it to the card with pop dots to add a little dimension.

For the Christmas Stitched Border, by Marianne Designs, I used DMC floss in green and two different shades of red, one for the flower and the other for the berries. On the center of the poinsettia I used a few gold gems from Marianne Designs.

On the inside, I cut another piece of white cardstock and adhered it to the back of the front flap so you don't see any stitching.  I added a red mat and a smaller white mat where I stamped the sentiment.  This is a stamp from Paper Inspirations called Christmas Peace and was stamped using VersaFine Onyx Black ink.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you liked my card, and feel inspired to get crafty and come play along with us. You have until 12:00 pm, CST, on 12 April 2022, to link your project to our challenge.
