FS429 - Is the fantastic gallery of Francie, better know as f.schles. Oh my I had to jump on this challenge as I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her gallery. If ever anyone needs inspiration, check her gallery out. I chose this fantastic card: sunshine sunflower by f.schles at Splitcoaststampers. I changed it to Christmas as I still have 2 more Christmas cards to make in the next 4 days.
I did the one layer paper tole on the poinsettia. Added 2 pieces of DP and created my own piece of DP using craft white on the red. I tried the bleach technique for the first time but it did not show up as well as I would have liked so I changed it to the white craft.
CCC15 - This is my 5th card this month. While I did not fussy cut the flower, I did cut it with a blade to do the one layer paper tole.
I do have to say I challenge myself to use up scraps of paper. Nearly every card in one way or another I look fora way to use pieces of scraps. The green on this was from my Christmas cards 3 years ago that I had cut down for cards. This is the very last piece and worked perfectly on this card with the stamps that I have on hand to create this card. Yeah for using up scraps. We need a challenge for using scraps here on SCS. LOL!
Thanks for looking!

Wow did this turn out great, Lisa. I love the way this layout looks in these wonderful Christmas colors. The flower is just stunning and deserves to be the center of attention. It has an amazing 3D look and the sparkle is just perfect. Right into my favs for this week, my friend. Thanks for playing along.
