Happy Monday Peeps!!!
This week I have a few Christmas cards to share.
This is one I made last month.
It is funny how something you do or see can bring back a flood of memories.
Poinsettias always remind me of my Mom. She loved them and at Christmas they were everywhere in our house. On the tree, in the swags on the stairs and porch and in all the floral arrangements.
Mom has been gone 20 years this month and I miss her so much.
Anyway on to my card:
I used the Arrange a Wreath dies, Poinsettia Dies and the tiny flowers are
punched from the Confetti Flowers Border Punch.
The Wreath is die cut with Garden Green card stock and Old Olive card stock.
I layered several of the die cut wreaths together and then made the flowers.
I die cut the small poinsettias three times for each flower. I layered them together alternating the petals.
The yellow center is also punched from the Confetti Flower Border Punch.
I added a small pearl to the centers of the Poinsettias.
The base of the card is Crumb Cake card stock.
I embossed another piece of Crumb Cake with the Brick & Mortar EF and matted it with
Whisper White.
Next is a layer of Real Red and the Scallop Stitched Rectangle is from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
My sentiment comes from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set, stamped with Black Memento ink and die cut with a die from the Tasteful Labels Dies.
I used my Wink of Stella pen all over the wreath for added glimmer.
Listed below are the "ingredients" used to make this project.
