This is for Dawn's Free 4 All Challenge - Holiday card show off. I made this card from items on my desk. The main panel was heat embossed in white. I goofed up the top with a big smear of extra powder so I had set it aside. The small poinsettia was heat embossed in silver, cut out and set aside as I decided not to use it. Turns out it was a perfect size to cover up the smear. I stamped two small poinsettias at the top corners, looks a little like brads. It is the cutest tiny stamp. A strip of DSP and a leftover seam binding bow for finishing touches. It was fun to pull things together at random and also helped to clean off my desk. Thanks for a terrific challenge Dawn. Thanks all for looking.

Love that you made this from scraps. I love when that works out so well. I like the updated look of this older set.

Your scraps sure came together to make a striking card. I love the red and white with that pretty strip of plaid added in. That big red bow is a perfect finishing touch.

Fantastic card, and all from your scraps, that's wonderful! I do love that itty bitty poinsettia stamp you used in the corners, so cute!

I love it when I can make cards with items on my desk and they turn out this great. I need to use more items on my desk. It was my goal for 2018 and will have to continue in to 2019.

Gorgeous, regal card. I love the silver poinsettia in the centre. No one would know that there is a blemish underneath it. After all, there are no such things as mistakes in papercrafting, just an excuse for another embellishment!
