Hi Everyone!
Darlene with you today sharing a creation for your inspiration, using dies from the Dies R Us Store.

So many newly released dies that you won't want to miss out on.
And, OH MY GOODNESS the sales they've been having!! Of course if

that because that's they only way you will be informed of the AWESOME
unadvertised sales that you can participate in and get some amazing

Anyways onto today's card . . .
The dies I have used in the creation are:
Sue Wilson Frames & Tags - Stitched Flags - CED4317
Memory Box - Gift Wrapped Poinsettia - #99478 which is unavailable at the present time but very similar to
Memory Box - Poinsettia Ribbon - MBD-99182
Memory Box - Gift Wrapped Poinsettia - #99478 which is unavailable at the present time but very similar to
Memory Box - Poinsettia Ribbon - MBD-99182
AND
Cottage Cutz - Elegant Poinsettia Spray - CCE-036 which was purchased
through one of those special Newsletter Sales I was telling you about at
the start of this posting.
Sorry I have
no photos of the 'process' in making this card! Hubby was working on my
computer when I was creating and I totally forgot to take some photos
along the way ... so distracting when he's in my cave but sometimes it's
necessary! LOL
Here are a couple close ups that you might like to see . . .
Even
though the Memory Box Poinsettia ribbon has the poinsettia as part of
the die, I did two things ... I colored the pieces that cut out (petals)
using Tim Holtz distress inks and reinserted them into the die cut ...
but also die cut, sponged and shaped a poinsettia from the Cheery Lynn
Designs die strip and placed on top to give it more texture and
dimension.
The little green viney pieces were cut from the Cottage Cuts die (didn't use the flower ... just the vines).
I used two of the stitched flags from the Sue Wilson set to create my
sentiment panel. A touch of gold stickles add the sparkle that is always necessary
for a holiday card!
