Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays my SCS friends! This is the warmest, most supportive community around. Wishing all of you the warmth and love of family and friends and blessings for the new year!
Audrie has a marvelous Pinterest board to inspire us. The shape of these beautiful red shoes reminded me of poinsettia petals! My card is thanks to a little help from my friends. Sabrina sent me the beautiful die cut sentiments, I placed an order for the dies shortly after and Carlene kindly let me use her poinsettia stamps during our last stamp session. Friends are the best gifts of all I painted the poinsettias by scribbling marker on a ceramic tile and using a water brush filled with alcohol. I used a gold marker for the flower centers and to edge the panel. Mounted the panel on script pp and added gold ribbon to finish. TFL

Carla, this is beautiful! I wondered if you had the dies, because when I saw them in black on one of your cards, I didn't think I'd sent black ;-). They are very useful, I'm sure you'll get great mileage out of having them yourself! I love the poinsettias against the script background.
I hope you had a lovely day yesterday!

Love how you made your own poinsettia paper with the SU stamp set. Turned out really nice and the gold ribbon and WORD sentiment in the same gold are the "just right" finishing touch.
