CAS Christmas July ~ Poinsettia

Our CAS Christmas Challenge is brought to us by Linda this month and she wants to see your poinsettia on your Christmas card!


the poinsettia is from The Ton:  Holiday Love, I colored it up with prisma colored pencils and a little gamsol for blending.  My sentiment is from The Greetery.  I stamped the poinsettia with soft stone ink on soft stone cardstock for a little background interest.

Sandma's handmade cards is our guest this month and she has an awesome card for your inspiration!

And of course head over to the blog post and see all the awesomeness from the design team



Heart Hugs, friends!

Your poinsettias are so pretty, Colleen! The different shades of pink you used are pleasing to the eye. The pencil colored flowers have an organic feel and the Kraft card base perfectly matches the feeling.
