I LUV our challenge site this week - so much inspiration! Thanks, Amy! I die cut the red, white and plaid with a scalloped die. Die cut the poinsettia and pine branch from white. Mixed the green wax paste with water and painted the leaves and pine branch for a pretty metallic shimmer. (Oddly, the wax is green, but the name on the jar is cobalt, which is blue). Covered the flower center with gold wax. Die cut the sentiment background with plaid and the overlay from white. Assembled all the pieces onto a black base. Suddenly Christmas seems to be closing in.

I lovely Christmas card with the white poinsettia and pine branch. The tartan plaid really complements it so well and gives a warm country feeling. A beautiful die cut font for the “joy”.

Beautifully done with the tartan plaid like the inspiration piece. Gives this Christmas card a traditional feel. Your poinsettia and pine leaf are lovely with the extra shine of the wax. I know what you mean about it closing in on us. Didn't we just have summer. TFS
