Noel for FMS #702

 Hello friends.  I am working on getting Christmas cards done and I thought the sketch at FMS would look good with a poinsettia for the circle element and the 2 leaves for the other elements.  This is what I came up with.

ETA:  My card was chosen as one of the Princess cards at FMS.


I embossed a white panel with Spellbinders Holly & Foliage EF and glued it to the white card base.  The poinsettia is made with Concord & 9th Festive Blooms Dies with lt. pink card from my stash.  I blended a little pink ink to the centers.  I just used the individual dies and layered the poinsettia for a fuller bloom.  The leaves are cut with dies from SU Poinsettia Petals (ret.) as is the silver foil center on the poinsettia.  Noel is cut using Simon Hurley Handwritten Holiday Sentiments from Spellbinders.  I cut the top layer from white and the mat from silver foil.  I added little strips of foam for dimension and mounted it. I really like the finished card and may have to make a couple more, maybe with a red poinsettia.

I am linking to Freshly Made Sketches #702.
 I will also link to Darnell's NBUS as this is the first time I have used these two die sets.

I realized it is Die Week at Darnell's IDEAS so will share this there also.


Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
