Hello Peeps!!!!

It has been a crazy busy week here, but I am excited to share this card with you quickly!

I had the idea from the very first time seeing the Country Home Stamp Set, that the mild jug would be cute with some kinda of Christmas arrangement in it.

I played around a bit and this is what I came up with.

The Poinsettia and greenery come from the Peaceful Poinsettia stamp set.

I water colored he images after stamping with black sazon onto hick whisper white card stock.
I used the matching framelits to the poinsettia set to cut out the flower and greenery.
I fussy cut the milk can.

The base of the my card is Crumb Cake and I followed that with some Cherry Cobbler card stock.
The DSP is from the Festive Farmhouse pack.

Thank you for stopping by!!

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the challenge at Fusion Card Challenge.

I took my inspiration from the photo, the red and white.

I told you all in an earlier post about my love for Poinsettias and how I like to use them on a few of my Christmas cards each year.

This card was a real booger, and I was determined to make it work, I couldn't/wouldn't stop.

 

The poinsettia was what I started with and what gave me the most grief.....lol! 

I used the dies from the Detailed Poinsettia thinlits.

I die cut the flower a few times and went to work putting it together, that was where I had my issues, the glue was just messy. UGH! and I could not get my adhesive sheets to work, but I was determined and eventually got it together.

The rest of the card is fairly simple and straightforward.

 I used the basket weave EF and I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.

I added a few pieces of greenery around the flower and finished with a few red rhinestones.

Some cards come together easily and others try your patience, but in the end I like the results.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello Peeps!!

I am back with another card share.

This card was made using the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

 This set, Peaceful Poinsettia, caught my eye first when looking through the mini catalog.

Poinsettias were my Mom's favorite at Christmas and when ever I see them it takes me back to all of our wonderful Christmases. My parents have been gone for many years now but we never stop missing our loved ones.

Anyway I love to color and because the poinsettias have a special memory for me, I love to use them on some Christmas cards each year.

The sketch seemed like a perfect place for a little flower for the circle element in the sketch.

 

I stamped the image a few times onto thick whisper white and colored with my ink pads and water brush. 

I fussy cut them out and layered them together using some dimensionals between the layers.

 

The base of the card is Basic Gray card stock, then a layer of Cherry Cobbler. The DSP is from the Festive Farmhouse pack.

I die cue the leaves and holly berries out with the Detailed Poinsettia Thinlits that match the stamp set.

The seniment is stamped with real red ink a few times to build and darken the color. 

Thanks for coming by!
