Wonders Poinsettia Pines

Back so soon? I hear you ask….

I’m trying to catch up with the list of challenges I wanted to join in, so that I increase my card stash.

 I used lots of my old SU stash for this one…..

Poinsettia Petals, Christmas Pines stamp sets,  North Pole Wonders dies, Boughs of Wonder DSP.



DSP background, die cut a contrasting stitched rectangle, added stamped, die cut, coloured with blends poinsettia, and die cut stag from brown card.
Stamped and die cut sentiment and added a few gold “berries” for a bit of bling

Excuse my black blobs on the photo….gremlins when I was editing 🙄


Challenges:

Just add ink #791 -Christmas 

Merry Little Christmas #69 -AG

52 Christmas card Throwdown - red, green, brown



Slightly different background paper, Stag cut from gold card, and sentiment heat embossed in gold.
I should have used the same gold pearls instead of the liquid gold that turned into a blob.
I blame the heat 😂, but I’ll probably rectify it before I send it to a friend 😉


Challenges:

Jingle Belles -tic tac toe (die cut, red & green, heat embossing)

Christmas kickstart challenge #113- friendship

Huge thanks to those who run the challenges…it keeps us on our toes and provides our inspiration 🙏


Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments

Take care and see you soon
