Poinsettia Fun.

First two cards are more of the last ones made for this yr and not shown yet. 

1st card is a digi by  Little Claires Design called Poinsettia Corner.  I do like to see them on christmas Cards. 

I have coloured using my Graph'it and Promarker pens  and gel pen.  I coloured two images up and then

fussy cut  the large poinsettia out and adhered to the first image raising up to give a 3d effect. 

Sentiment is aTonic die Modern Merry Christmas. 

Second Card. is  another digi by Little claire Designs called Poinsettias.  Coloured with my Graph'it pens and promarkers plus a gold gel pen.  I then die cut is using Spellbinders A2 Floral Ribbon Threader. The sentiment is again the  Tonic die Modern Merry Christmas.

Then I was tidying up my desk from doing all the christmas paper  envelopes and had a pile of small snippet strips over. Well I couldn't just  throw them in the bin  could I,  so I sorted into colours and made up the following  5 sheets  by adhering using ds tape to use as backgrounds ready for next yrs cards. 

Then another idea popped up as they do. Why not use one of the sheets and die cut a sentiment and a poinsettia flower from it so I did!  Then following on from that idea why not use the matching embossing folder and make a card up for  the current  Let's Squash It challenge so I did just that.  

So my card is using a die cut by Chloe Endean Designs that has a matching Embossing folder.  I embossed a sheet of white linen stock card and then used one of the sheets from above to die cut the poinsettia die and also the sentiment.  I adhered the flowers more or less over the matching embossed flowers and then added the sprigs of holly randomly onto the background. The 3 red pearls were also out on my desk so waste not want not. 

Here is a picture of the embossing folder and matching die cut. 

Entering this card into the following:
