Get Ready for Christmas at Stamping Sensations


Morning, can you believe it's the beginning of November already and the countdown is on for those Christmas cards and to help you along, we're Getting Ready for Christmas is the new challenge at Stamping Sensations and this month there are two prizes from Penny Black.





I decided to stamp this large Poinsettia from Tim Holtz, first stamping onto my base card and then again onto water colour paper.  My base layer was coloured with Tumbled Glass before stamping the script  with Brilliance Iridescent Olive (which is a dark gold colour), I then stamped the music script and greeting and heat embossed with Gold EP. I fussy cut the poinsettia and water coloured. I also added a few extra leaves.

The rest of the DT have some gorgeous inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main blog, where you will also find all the challenge details.

Thanks for calling in, have a great day.
Avril xx

This large, single poinsettia looks simply majestic! Love the addition of the musical notes to give it company. Elegenat and traditional look.
