Hello everyone!! Today I am just posting quick.
I created two Christmas cards for some challenges.
First, the layout of the card was inspired by the sketch below from CASE this Sketch:

I created two Christmas cards for some challenges.
First, the layout of the card was inspired by the sketch below from CASE this Sketch:
Instead of the circle, I used the poinsettia as the focal point on both cards, along with some pine boughs and mistletoe.
The colors that I was inspired by came from two sources. One is the image from TIME OUT Challenge #98and the second is three colors from the Merry Monday image #269. I think you can see what inspired me from both.
Here is a close up of both. I used the same poinsettia that I used on yesterdays card. I die cut a few to get rid of some scraps.
I also used two different sentiments on each card but both were heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
