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

Yes, I think we're all getting into making Christmas cards and how lucky that you'd not thrown out that lovely smooshed card - a gorgeous poinsettia has resulted. I can never bear to throw anything out 😉
Beautiful card made with your wonderful saves from leftovers, Viv!! Those poinsettias are so pretty in pink. :) Love the texture of the background which really adds to the dimension of your florals. Lovely CAS design, my friend. Have a wonderful trip!! xx
What great use of those leftovers and I love the white splatters. Going away is such a great excuse for ignoring Christmas. Hope you enjoy your trip xx
Simply BEAUTIFUL! Love all the textures and dimension. Who doesn’t love a good Posca splatter???
