A Floral Christmas Card

 

Hi today I am showing you a floral christmas card. It turned out better then I initially intended so that is realy good.

I used a poppy red base card and put a piece of digital paper on that from the Christmas Romance collection of Nitwit Collections. I love the backgrounds from them so much and use them a lot in my cards. So I don't remember all the brands of the dies I used so lets skip that for now.
I die cut a nesting panel with a lovely lace edge in poppy red. On that I added a white oval panel and I stamped the sentiment on that with black ink. I then cut out a whole bunch of leaves and poinsettias. I inked up some of the leaves and I then made the poinsettias. I die cut the flowers twice in 3 sizes so each of the flower has a double layer. I added the Festive Berries Distress Oxide Ink in the middle of the flowers and added a touch of black on the points. I then sprayed a bit of water on them and shaped the leaves. I added some red stamens to each of the flowers. I used tacky glue to added it all together. I then started to composition everything onto the oval panel and I used quite a bit of foam to add dimension. It is a bit bulky but really beautiful so I think I will hand gift this one instead of mailing this. I decorated the inside to match the front as well.

I will be adding this to the following challenges:
The Holly And Ivy Christmas #191 - Anything Christmas Goes
Sparkles Christmas #176 - Let's See Some Holly
CD Sunday Plus #167 - Anything Digitals Goes
Sweet Stampin' - Use Die Cuts
Krafty Chicks #785 - Christmas

Till next time
