Poinsetta Birthday

Photo Details

Poster: tay0479

This was made for the VSN Mini (NOV09VSNMINI1). Get in the party mood was the title and the object was to take a holiday stamp and make a non holiday card with it. I used the poinsetta from the Christ is Born Christmas stamp and made it into a birthday bouquet, so to speak.

Perfect! Would never know this was not supposed to be a birthday stamp to begin with! The purple and green make a great color combination, too.

Thanks for playing in my challenge!

Wonderful presentation on this challenge. Very clever to use a Christmas flower for a birthday card. You can't even tell with these nice soft colors. Great take on the challenge. TFS

Great idea! I never thought of stamping a poinsettia in a different color. It's a great card!
