Happy Monday, everyone! Although it doesn't feel much like Christmas weather here in PA, I am using this week's Atlantic Hearts sketch for a decidedly festive card! Here's the sketch:
I usually don't go in for lots of diecuts on my cards, but today I embraced my Big Shot, dies and cardstocks and layered them on thick! I diecut several poinsettias in Real Red cardstock, then shaded them with Cherry Cobbler ink and gave them some gold glimmer centers:
A few different papers from my stash formed the other layers, and I used some white glimmer paper to create the diecut sentiments and foliage. A sentiment from Wrapped in Christmas went on the inside:
I love poinsettias at Christmas; they remind me of holidays at my grandfather's florist shop where my mom would always get one for my teachers! Luckily, these poinsettias don't need watering or a dark closet, LOL! I hope you'll find some inspiration from our sketch and play along with us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge! Thanks for visiting--enjoy your day and be blessed!
