Pink Poinsettia

We're once again off on a trip over Christmas🎄 so the usual pattern of not a lot of decorations ( about 3!) to be put up in the house hooray (bah humbug 😁) and very few Christmas Cards being sent resumes!

I do send a couple of cards tho so have set to over the last week and made some.

Once again into the 'Should Chuck Away But It May Come In Useful' drawer I went and this card is the result!

The flower petals were cut from some leftover smooshed pieces which I think were Picked Raspberry and Kitsch Flamingo and the leaves were again odd scraps of watercolour card so I smooshed them with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron.

I used an embossing pen and made a few dots in the centre of the petals and heat embossed in silver.

Once again out came the Posca pen - I LOVE splattering! Who would guess??😉

My hammered cardstock was used for the base and I ran a scrap piece through with a wood embossing folder for the centre panel.

The mirri card wording also from a small leftover piece.

Sharing over at CAS Christmas which has a theme of 'Poinsettia' and Krafty Chjcks whose theme is Christmas and I am also visiting the Playground with my leftover make before the gates shut!
Thanks for looking today. Hope everything is OK with you in your part of blogland! x  

CAS Mix Up October Challenge

CAS Mix Up has a new challenge running until the last day of the month and the task is 'BLACKOUT EMBOSSING'

The 3d embossing folder is Spellbinders Beautiful Blooms.

I cut out one of the blooms from the embossing folder and used this for my blackout.
The flower and leaves were coloured with watercolour pencils.

I popped the white piece up on some 3d foam tape so the blackout piece is slightly lower.
I am a rubbish photographer as I seem to have somehow not shown the back matted layer all the way round - trust me it's there! 

I hope you will visit the CAS Mix Up blog and have a look at some of the gorgeous makes from the rest of the DT - they're definitely worth a look!
And then maybe you'll have a go and link up to us - we really like to visit and see what you have created! x
