CAS Christmas March Challenge - Winter Flower

Hello everyone.  The March challenge at CAS Christmas starts now and this month is extra special because we are celebrating our second birthday!


This months's theme is Winter Flower.


And here's my card.



I know!  It's a shocker to me too, but thanks to my hubby, I went outside my comfort zone with a traditional red/green colour palette. 😂   The Poinsettia Border image from Studio Katia was stamped with Memento black ink on a stitched X-press It panel, then coloured in with Copics.


Merry from Studio Katia Merry Poinsettia dies was die cut from Bristol paper and adhered to a scrap of black cardstock, then fussy cut out to give it a shadow.  Stamped christmas from the same stamp set and foam mounted the merry die-cut sentiment above it.  Finished with some clear shimmer on the poinsettias.

Now it wouldn't be a celebration without prizes, would it?  Link up your winter flower card this month for your chance to win one of two $25 gift cards.  Find all the details and more inspiration from our guest Linda (Scrappin, Stamping & Singin) and the design team HERE.  Can't wait to see what you come up with.  Thank you for stopping by.
