Christmas cheer

Hello. Playing in a few challenges today. I started off with the sketch over at Sunday Stamps and paired it with the color challenge over at The Paper Players.


The red-striped dp is from my stash of Christmas papers so I have no idea where it came from originally. The poinsettia is cut from paper from Violet's studio designs. I liked that it looks as though it is splattered with white paint. I added some additional greenery behind it for some interest.  The white panel is embossed with an embossing folder and the sentiment is popped up with foam tape. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Very pretty card. I also think the white on the poinsettia looks like splattered dots.
