Hi there, blog friends! It’s time for the July challenge at CAS Christmas. Our Hostess is Linda and she has chosen ‘Poinsettia’ for our prompt and our Guest Designer is Sandra from Sandma's Handmade Cards.
I love this graphic Poinsettia without adding the 2nd layer to the design, which would fill in the color. I used ultra fine gold embossing powder for the flower and sentiment, added a few clear gems, then placed the panel on a gold foil card base...and that was it! I love a clean and simple card, but sometimes it's hard to know when to add and when to stop ~ know what I mean?
We hope you’ll stop by the Challenge Blog and check out all the beautiful Christmas cards by our DT and Guest Designer. The challenge ends on the 24th, so you have plenty of time to play along with us. It’s a great way to add some beautiful cards to your Christmas card stash! I hope to see you there ~
Supplies:
Stamps: Stamplorations - Layered Poinsettia; Clearly Besotted - Christmas Sparkle
Misc: Simon Says Stamp - Ultrafine Gold Embossing Powder

Barb you knew the perfect moment to say when! You know how much I love that modern Poinsettia any time of the year, but it's stunning on a Christmas card where it was intended all along!
