Once again I have decided to add another Christmas card to my stash using our latest sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. Our hostess this week is Linda and her sketch immediately put me in mind of my favorite poinsettia die.
That long panel as well as the slim vertical layer practically screamed at me to add the poinsettia and a Christmas sentiment. And the color combo at Christmas Card Throwdown is a favorite of mine when it comes to Christmas cards so I jumped at the chance to use it for this card. I chose to add some texture to the white background as well as the long blue vertical layer and finished it all off with a vellum poinsettia. It's quite pretty in real life!
Thanks for stopping by! My Freshly Made Sketches teammates have, of course, made some amazing cards this week so be sure to check them out!
