This one uses Pure Florals: Poinsettia and Simply Said Christmas by Uniko;
the sentiment and poinsettia are both heat embossed using WOW rich pale gold
and the inlaid frame die is by Paper Smooches.
I'd like to enter this for a couple of challenges too
and another entry for the Flower Challenge - Anything Goes with flowers
Here I've used some snowflake patterned acetate which is adhered
between the card stock at the top and bottom of the card.
The tree landscape die is from Clearly Besotted with the sentiment from
Happy Little Stampers - Christmas sentiments set. I've added a touch
of Tumbled Glass distress ink behind the acetate as the sky.
It's Anything Goes over at Addicted to Stamps and More
so I'd like to head over there with this card.
I discovered the hearts border die in my stash which is how this card started
plus my Mum asked me for an Anniversary card! That's all it takes eh!
Then thinking pink I've torn strips of mottled pink and white vellum, overlapped
it and adhered it to a piece of card stock. Added some pink sequins and a few
embossed chevrons from Happy Little Stampers Mix Mash in Ranger Silver Platinum to
tone in with the sentiment from Avery Elle which is heat embossed in the same.
As always thanks for visiting my blog today and I'll be back tomorrow
morning with the latest challenge info for AAA Cards - hope to catch you then!
Ooh what a feast for my eyes! I very nearly used that poinsettia but you beat me to it and there's no way I could have bettered that fab card! Love your acetate card, such a great way to create this lovely winter scene. But wow, your last card is amazing, so creative. And I have stash envy with that gorgeous vellum. You've really blown me away this week, LOVE!!!!

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful cards, all so different but each of them fabulous and classy. I love the warm, rich colouring of your poinsettia card, totally stunning. Your snowflake acetate card is absolutely gorgeous and I adore the pretty colours <3 And your final card is such a fantastic contemporary design set off so beautifully by the soft shades of pink and white. Love them all! Have a great weekend x
ReplyDeleteThese are 3 fabulous designs, Sarah! I love the dramatic Uniko poinsettia - it really is a showstopper, and your snowflake patterned acetate is perfect for that soft and elegant Christmas scene. The pink vellums on your final card are just delicious! Have a great weekend xx
ReplyDeleteWOW Sarah ! What a gorgeous bunch of cards ! You really made the perfect beautiful cards to inspire us with this new challenge ! I love all of them but I think my favorite one is the poinsettia card (may be because Christmas is nearby !). Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant, Sarah! Are you purchasing these gorgeous colored vellum, or creating them on your own? The red is gorgeous ... but I'm happy to see you thinking pink, or I'd never have seen this beautifully mottled one!
