Hello! It's Mary Dawn and today I've made a card using a set from the first ever Neat & Tangled release: Fresh Blooms. I think the flowers in this set, when colored and layered, make THE perfect poinsettia.
I colored my flowers with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Pens, I used DR1, 4 & 5 for the flower. And for the leaves, I colored the same flower image with CG4 & DG4. I fussy cut my images and layered them to create my poinsettia. The sentiment is from Simple Christmas.
To finish off my card I added a punched flower center and some teeny punched dots from some gorgeous DCWV glitter paper--zero glitter comes off, it's fabulous!
Have you started your Christmas cards yet? Are you already finished?
wow this is gorgeous..
