I almost ran out of time to make this for the Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge I've been sooo busy! Anyway, I took a little stampy time out this evening before I go back to work (our store is having a re-fit, and they need staff to go in for an hour to move stuff etc.)
Look at this fab colour combo:
Well, these colours just shout Christmas to me! So I made a Christmas card.
I did a bit of random stamping with the WMS Big Blooms -Poinsettias set in Stampin' Up! Cherry cobbler and Raspberry Ripple, and Memento Pistachio and Pine Cone inks.
I then made a kraft card base, and a Raspberry Ripple base, and punched the edge with a Fiskars punch. The sentiment is also from WMS Compliments of the Season II set - stamped in Espresso Truffle but I didn't think it was bold enough so I added some glamour dust to it. Not sure if I like this or not yet! Finally I added some red striped ribbon.
I've kept this purposefully flat for posting, our rates have gone up so much recently, I'm going to have to try to keep it a bit more CAS this year!
Well that's it from me today, thanks for stopping by,
Pauline

Love your Christmas take on the colours - really festive! Thanks so much for playing along with WM Fanatics Challenge! Hope to see you again soon.
BTW - Thanks for the note about postage, just checked it out! Ouch!! I'll have to make some very flat cards for the UK ;)
Very pretty, Pauline. I like the background created with the poinsettia stamps.
Those big poinsettias are just gorgeous! Love your colour combo.
