Haven't made anything since this card just before Christmas, was a rush job, last minute request and finished in one afternoon. Hate being put on the spot but I think I get on better having no time to dither here or there, this way or that way, which papers dies, oh the list goes on when I have the time lol! Was so pleased how this turned out.
I loved it, didn't want to give it away, really need to stop thinking that way, just hope it was well received.
Sizzix Poinsettia large die,Trimcraft Christmas papers, edges inked with TH Frayed Burlap
For the Just for you die I used papers and embossed with Frantage, loved the result. I cut three die cuts out and layered them to make it pop more.
Paper edges roughed up and torn then inked
Spellbinders die cut rectangle finished off with mocha pearls
Memory box holly flourish cut out in gold, tiny red gems added to stems.
Pearl edged lace
My card deserved a box since the Poinsettia was BIG and didn't want it getting squashed, used linen card and followed the card theme without giving to much away, I think!
Haven't been in my craft room for over a month till today, gave it a bit of a tidy up and along with my new crafty buys, oh yes, I did manage that while layed up. Had to do something to fill my days lol!!! Just need broadband to behave now, it is so slow, at this rate we might have to go satellite yet. Need to get hubby to look into that, not holding my breath, now if it had something to do with farming he would be straight onto it!

Wow wow wow this is amazing. No wonder you did t want to give it away. I'm like you if I dither too long I overthink the card then start getting frustrated. I seem to have missed a couple of yours posts don't know why because I have a link on my blog. For some reason I'm not a follower either and I thought I was! I am now. Anyway they are all fabulous. X
