Time sure is flying by and Christmas will be here before we know it. After selling so many cards in my card sale I am trying to make Christmas cards to send to our family and friends. The card I am sharing today was made using the sketch from the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge.
I pulled new holiday paper pad by K&C Company and browsed through until I came across the lovely holly and coordinating green pattern. I thought this paper would be perfect paired with white poinsettias, holly and pine. I just can’t seem to stop making poinsettias.
I used cream cardstock for the sentiment layer and poinsettias. I sponged on a tiny bit of yellow to the petals to add depth.
I love how the sprays of poinsettias and holly adds so much interest to the Wishing You Peace sentiment.
You can check out my flower spray tutorial and poinsettia tutorial if you would like to know how I made my flowers.
I hope your week is going well and that you are farther ahead making your Christmas cards than me. Thanks for checking in to my post today.
Stamps: Rubbernecker Wishing You Peace 410-05

Ink: Scattered Straw, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint

Absolute beautiful card, Kittie! The poinsettias w/sprays are so pretty and the paper layers are lovely. :)

You've certainly become the Queen of Poinsettia's, Kittie ... and it's just more eye candy for your subscribers (and I'm sure that none of them, including me, will complain about that!).
