Hi friends! Carol has a great color combination for the week's Just Us Girls Color Week challenge. Perfect for getting those holiday cards started!
Of course I thought of a poinsettia for this color challenge, as did a couple of my design team friends did! I die cut the poinsettia from cranberry and red card stocks and accented them with ink. I also die cut some leaves and evergreen sprigs from green card stock and accented them with inks as well. For the background, I used a cover plate to get the snowflake design and accented it with antique linen distress oxide ink. The sentiment was die cut three times from cranberry card stock and stacked for dimension. I spitzed it with shimmer spray for some sparkle and added gold pearls.

So pretty, Lisa! The cream background was a great choice!
Your poinsettia is beautiful; you've really made red-and-green the stars of the stage with this lovely, festive card!

Beautiful poinsettia card Lisa. Lovely background.
So beautiful, Lisa. I love the background you created for your wonderful red poinsettia.
That poinsettia is absolutely gorgeous! I really liked the way you inked that background giving it a glow.
Beautiful Christmas card. Love that big poinsettia.
The inking over your die cuts make them look like they are cut out of soft cloth! A beautiful design for the challenge! Julia xx
