A Pretty Poinsettia for Christmas Craft Creations

 I have some exciting news for you today.

I have joined the Talented Team at

Christmas Craft Creations.

We have a monthly themed Christmas Challenge and

I was so excited when I saw what the August Theme was as I

love making Non Traditional Coloured Christmas Cards and

a favourite of mine  is kraft as you can add any colour choice.

I decided to use some patterned metallic card stock -

it's not a white white because of the sheen.

I got out my favourite Spellbinders Poinsettia dies

and cut several for layering.

Background dies are from Tim's Mini Holiday Greens

and Memory Box Quinn Flourish.

The texture plate is embossed instead of die cut.

Added Lawn Fawn Hemp Cord behind the flourish.

Of course you have to have some snowy

pearl white splatters which break the plain background.

Sentiment die is from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Finished with some pearl coloured gems

to the flower centres.

Pop over and see how my Team Mates

chose to use Non Traditional Colours on their

Christmas creations.

Why not join in with yours.

It's good to get those Christmas cards in the ready!

Thanks for dropping in.

Love reading your kind comments too.
