Hello friends. I am thrilled to be guest designing for CAS Christmas Card Challenge for Septermber. It is never too early to start making those Christmas cards and be ready in December.
The challenge this month is Sparkle and/or Shine.
I have shine and a little sparkle on my card.
I used an older Sizzix EF to emboss the white panel and stamped a sentiment from SU Poinsettia Petals in the flat section. The pretty poinsettia and leaves, from the matching dies in the Poinsettia Petals set, are cut with red and green mirror card by Tonic Studios. I die cut 2 of the poinsettias and layered them, then added a sparkly gold gem to the center. I love the embossed impression on the poinsettia and leaves. The leaves are glued under the petals of the poinsettia.
I hope you check out all the great shiny and sparkly cards by the team over at CAS Christmas Card Challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day..
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
JoAnn thanks for being our GD this month. Your card is so pretty and shiny with your poinsettia and leaves. And your background helps to showcase your lovely flower.
ReplyDeleteEverything old is new again, JoAnn! I love this EF and probably have it in my stash! It provides such an interesting yet CAS backdrop for your shiny BEAUTIFUL Poinsettias!

ReplyDeleteJoAnn, thanks for being our Guest Designer at CAS Christmas for September with this beautiful poinsettia. I love the red and green shine against your white embossed background.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely, shiny poinsettia CAS Christmas card, JoAnn!
ReplyDeleteThe shine of the mirror card is so pretty, and so is the sparkly gold gem! The embossed impression on the die-cuts makes a big difference, and the trellis-like embossed pattern adds so much interest to the background. Thank you so much for being our wonderful GD this month!
