I had Christmas on my mind when I made this card. There is a "purple and gold" challenge at Less is More and the "flower" challenge at Jingle Belles got me thinking that maybe I could combine those with my FMS card this week. Yes, that horizontal image really is purple! I die cut the poinsettia out of vellum then added a couple touches of gold and voilà! And can I just say that this is very cool looking in real life!
Thanks for stopping by and please stop by Freshly Made Sketches and check out the inspiration from the design team. I hope to see you in the gallery!
