I've chosen all of the colors to create my card.
I used the Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set and the Zany Zebras Stamp Set for the image and sentiment, respectively. Both are stamped in Real Red Ink on Whisper White cardstock. I sponged the edge of the sentiment with Garden Green Ink. I punched it out with the Label Me Fancy Punch and adhered it to the Plaid Tidings mat, which has Cherry Cobbler in it. My card base is Shaded Spruce. I die cut the poinsettia with the matching Poinsettia Dies.
I used the same dies to cut out three Shaded Spruce cardstock berry sprigs and Garden Green cardstock for the two leaves. The dies emboss and cut...a welcome feature! I adhered them to the plaid mat with liquid glue. I adhered the poinsettia with Stampin' Dimensionals. I stamped a berry sprig on the front of the envelope.
I'm entering my card in The Flower Challenge: #50 Use a Sentiment.
I stamped the sentiment from the Happiest of Birthdays Stamp Set in Garden Green. I adhered a strip of Plaid Tidings DSP to the bottom and adhered another strip to the envelope flap. I punched two of the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch.

Very pretty, Karen. Great minds think alike!Love that paper and the poinsettias together. You gave me an idea for a birthday card for a friend whose birthday is Christmas Day. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJulie, like we always say, "Sisters from a different mother!" It was funny how we both picked the same DSP and the poinsettia, but totally different cards.
