Hello! Happy Wednesday to you! It may be Halloween today, but here on my blog it’s Christmas! I do certainly wish everyone a Happy Haunting full of Ghosts and Goblins, But, back to my Christmas makings… Today I share with you a non-traditional colored card with vellum poinsettias. I do hope you enjoy it as, it provided me a challenge. The challenge for me was the color. I actually cut this die out months ago and had it laying on my desk waiting for inspiration to hit me. For me the inspiration came from talking with my friend Barbara and her insisting I could make a Christmas card in something besides green and red. Looking back on the evening I was very closed minded in my color thoughts. I absolutely love the card and the challenges it posed for me. Without further ado…

Joy, this is a beautiful design, and I love your poinsettia spray! I'm so happy you used that interesting embossing folder on the circle die cut–it adds another subtle layer of texture. Gorgeous design, and I love the unique colors for a holiday card. Thank you so much for contributing to our Impress Us challenge at Frilly and Funkie! Hugs!
