Guesting at "The Challenge"


Hi Friends! I'm thrilled to be joining the gals at "The Challenge" #52 this week. Thanks for inviting me. Take a look at the fabulous inspiration photo below and play along with us. 

For my card I found inspiration from the Poinsettias and greenery to make a traditional rustic style .  Doesn't that Prima red poinsettia just pop against all those neutrals? I used some Bo Bunny paper, a Cherry Lynn doily die, a Penny Black sentiment heat embossed in gold and some trim and twine in a neutral color. 

The most fun part of making this was heat embossing an older metal brad with gold embossing powder! It was fun to watch it melt on the metal. 

I hope you enjoyed visiting today. Please check out The Challenge! 


Some other challenges I'm submitting to are:

Simon Says Stamp Wed. Challenge -Christmas
Just us Girls -Red,Green,Gold
Fantasy Stampers -Traditional Christmas

Thanks for visiting!
