Hi! This card was made for today's Technique Lovers Challenge: Tag Punch Starburst. You can find the STAR directions here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Now, if you have been seeing my 9 year old's cards this past weekend, you can probably imagine Speedy the Cat's, (and MY), DELIGHT that the little guy had school today! LOL! I'm trying to cut for a 20 card stamp a stack, and having the guy in my "space" was killing me! LOL!
So, when I saw the challenge today I kinda giggled, as I just made 5 Christmas cards using that vellum star! LOL! So......I decided to go ahead and "mess" with the stary and use RED Linen paper instead of vellum. Well...I got a big red star....So..I looked at it and decided that it needed leaves...And then, it needed a center.....So, I stamped the poinsettia 5 times. I colored 3 of them green, 1 red and 1 yellow. I then used an aqua pen to blend the colors.
I cut out various pieces and adhered them to the star with foam tape.

Wowww, you always know just what it needs. And adding that poinsetta is great. You always work outside the box and that's great, and that helps a person like me to come out also because I would have stopped at one......tfs
