Tuesday Throwdown Guest Designer

Hi all, today is my second posting as a Guest Designer for Tuesday Throwdown.
This week we are being sponsored by My Grafico, and I have chosen this beautiful Poinsettia image to play with.


I have coloured the poinsettias with Promarkers, and decoupaged both flowers.



The patterned paper is by Graphic 45, stitched and layered onto some red Bazzill Bling card, and mounted onto a Mountain Fold card.

The sentiment is by Waltzingmouse Stamps.


The ribbon and lace is from a christmas pack of ribbons, and the little black gems are by Kars, as are the little red gems on the sentiment oval, and the little gold gems in the flower centres. The little green leaves are from The Ribbon Reel.




On the back I stamped the sentiment by Waltzingmouse Stamps, from Very Vintage Christmas.


I am entering this into the following challenges:
