MIX108 - Brown Paper Collage, I started with my brown craft paper and added a ton of white craft paint then dried it and used versamark on top and stamped the Heartfelt Creations Christmas BG stamp. Then distressed it with walnut ink and distressed the edges for this challenge.
QFTD250 - is the FANTASTIC and I mean FANTASTIC gallery of LittleSeaOtter...aka Kecia Waters OMG can I just say every card in her gallery is fantastic? Kecia, can I stalk your gallery it truly is amazing. I chose this gem: Holly & Swirls by LittleSeaOtter at Splitcoaststampers. I kept the back a red then layered with a green rather than the black. Then used my MIX108 on top rather than a white. I kept the focal image going vertical using a candle image and then made handmade flowers across and a ribbon across. Her card was beautifully laid out and that is how I kept the layout.
CCC15 - I am way behind for the month of February this is my first of 6 that I need to get done so that is why I chose a Christmas theme on this card.
This card took nearly 5 hours to complete including cutting outside the circle in the flowers and leaves at the bottom but I am so happy with how it turned out.
Thank you for looking.

What an awesome bg you created with your brown paper and paints! Great idea to stamp on top with veramark. Those poinsettias are so pretty,too. Terrific card!

5 hours! Wow - that is a labour of love! But well worth the time as it is fabulous. I really like the distressed look to the background and the beautiful cluster of poinsettias.
