I'm continuing a mad dash of making enough Christmas cards to mail to friends and family and this week's Freshly Made Sketches provided a great layout. Our hostess this week is Karren and many thanks to her because the circle on the sketch was a poinsettia no-brainer for me! We are also joined this week by guest designer Nancy Leppek, one of our 600th sketch challenge winners.
I used the lovely velvet paper in my stash to create the poinsettia. It is quite decadent in real life! I paired it with a textured background and some ancient patterned paper for a quick and easy card.
Thanks for stopping by!
Supplies:
Stamps: Peace Love Joy (Right at Home)
Paper: True Thyme, Early Espresso, Holiday Thyme DSP, Rose Gold (Stampin' Up!); velour paper (Hygloss)

Very pretty. I love the poinsettia and have made quite a few with poinsettias. I like your neutral background too. Great take on the sketch. TFS

ReplyDeleteI need to get out more often - I've never seen velvet paper before but just wowsah! That poinsettia is gorgeous and I love the kraft colors that look perfect with the red bloom. Beautiful card with that great sketch!
