I'm Hosting this weeks challenge at Just Us Girls

I am hosting this weeks challenge over at

Just Us Girls for our Colour Week.

Most of you know my favourite colour is Purple

and I love to combine it with Teal.

Since it is close to Christmas I chose  Gold

as the third colour.

I love making non traditional coloured Christmas cards

(and that is what I went with)

I couldn't not make a Christmas card without pulling out

my favourite Poinsettia die from Spellbinders.

Now I have NEVER seen a poinsettia the colours I chose

but what the heck! It's different.

My card base is white.

My first layer is embossed with an old Cuttlebug

Christmas embossing folder.

Cutting a piece of DP from American Crafts with

Spellbinder Labels 20 I attached that adding

ribbon and a small strip from a Starform sticker.

My berries and holly were cut out from Kaisercraft dies

I bought while on holidays (vacation)

The Merry Christmas die is also new for me and from Lawn Fawn.

Now on to THAT poinsettia -

I covered a sheet of card stock with spritzed

Tim Holtz Mermaid Lagoon and Wilted Violet

and touches of Blue Moonstone Sparkle Medium

then cut out the pieces for the flower.

There were some white bits showing so covered that with

Tim Holtz Milled Lavender.

Added some Inka Gold around the edges

and touched up with Wink of Stella

for a little more sparkle.

Finished with some dew drops.

Sorry for the long posting. Hope you had a coffee

while reading it.

Now you need to pop over to

Our Blog to check out our November

Then I hope you will play with us this week.

You could be chosen as our Chic of the Week

PS It can be any type of card as long as it has

just those 3 colours (with neutrals accepted)
