Happy Christmas

Well I hadn't intended to have two cards for the Muse: Christmas Visions 100th challenge... but it is a special occasion for the DT and I had originally started making this card, but thought it had way too much gold and put it aside.  So I looked at it again and decided to finish it off...
I stamped and embossed my poinsettia image in Golden Sunshine EP and used Distress Oxides to water colour it. Then to complete it today I added some light blue pencil shading and used a Gelly ROss pen to add some lines of dots.  I decided to go with a large die cut sentiment instead of a stamped one.. the gold card I selected goes beautifully with the gold embossing.  Finally I used all the scraps from the die cut to arrange around my image.  I was inspired by Chriss's card.. with the elements - Poinsettias, red and cream colours, with blue background, gold embossing, large sentiment and the use of pencil.  Thanks for visiting, congrats to DT, enjoy your week
