Sue Wilson Stained Glass - Poinsettia Christmas card





Hello and welcome to another challenge at ABC Christmas Challenges 





Our challenges this time are

S for Sparkle

and

T for Texture



I went for S for Sparkle but the glitter also gives texture so I think this one covers both.




I started by cutting a stitched rectangle from white card before cutting the die from Sue Wilson's Festive Collection Stained Glass - Poinsettia from the centre. I then cut the die again from red card before colouring the leaves and flower centres with Copic markers. I used adhesive film behind the die cut and paper pieced the pieces back in before coating the negative space with blue glitter.


I embossed the red panel with the Creative Expression Falling Snow e/f and die cut a frame using the Sue Wilson Stitched rectangle dies. The sentiment is a Papertrey Ink one and I embossed it with white embossing powder.

If you go to the ABC Christmas Challenges blog you will find lots to inspire you from my talented teammates, and you have until 30th September to link up your entries. I hope to see you in the gallery.

I'd like to play along at







Thanks for stopping by.

Absolutely stunning with the glitter added to the wonderful die cut design. And, the poinsettias are gorgeous in the stained glass panel.
