Hello friends. This is my second post today. I finally decided what I wanted to do with the red and gray colors at CAS Christmas Card Challenge - Red & Gray,
ETA: Yea, my card was one of the Top Picks at CAS Christmas.
I used SU Poinsettia Petals stamp and dies to die cut the pretty red poinsettia. I shaped the petals and layered them together and added the pretty pearls to the center. I didn't want to die cut gray leaves so I placed the poinsettia where I wanted it to see where to stamp the leaves in Smokey Slate on the Smokey Slate panel, for a subtle look. I stamped the sentiment from SU Peaceful Poinsettia (retired) in Real Red on the panel and then embossed it with the Tasteful Textile EF (love the texture from this EF). I glued the gray panel to the white card base and then added the poinsettia. Then I decided to add the berry sprays from the same die set cut in white and I like the finished card.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
