Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at CAS Christmas and Linda has chosen poinsettias as the theme.
The design team and our guest Sandra have some amazing inspiration for you, so I hope you get the chance to play along.
This card uses diecuts only. 2 of them I've had for ages but not used, the sentiment and frame.
The sentiment was inked with versamark and embossed with aged gold frantage embossing enamel.
I diecut the small poinsettia from red and green cardstock and used some shaping tools and a mouse mat to give the petals and leaves some dimension.
Thes's a tiny smear of crystal stickles on the gold centre to liven it up!
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Dies R Us, anything goes, I've used Penny Black and Poppy Stamps dies.
I've gone with the diagonal of silver/gold/flowers/pink or red.
Supplies:
Dies: Poppystamps small blooming poinsettia and jumbled happy holidays; Penny Black square frames;
Other: versamark ink; Stampendous aged gold frantage embossing enamel; Stickles.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

What a sweet little poinsettia with the lovely white frame and beautiful gold letters Cathy! xx
Beautiful poinsettia Cathy, so pretty with the addition of the inlaid sentiment in gold ♥
Love this awesome sentiment die in the thick gold embossing! The little poinsettia adds just the right little pop of color!
Beautiful card Cathy! LOVE how the gold frantage adds so much depth to the embossed letters. I have never used it like that before --- fabulous! And so beautiful with the sweet, layered poinsettia. xx
Gorgeous gold embossing enameled sentiment with a pretty 3D poinsettia, Cathy! The white on white square frame naturally draws the eye to the center without distracting from the focal sentiment and the flower!

CAS and absolutely BEAUTIFUL Cathy!! I'm loving that frame and that small pop of color from the Poinsettia...lovely, lovely card!! :0)
Love that sweet little poinsettia. Great use of the gold for the poinsettia's centre to tie it to the gold of the sentiment. And wonderful framing with the PB frame die (I might have to consider buying that die!).
Lovely and Festive.
So beautiful, Cathy. Gold embossing the die-cut sentiment gives it such amazing dimension. Love the frame and your poinsettia is so cute.
Crisp and fresh Chrissy card Cathy - nice frame die Mxxx
