It's time for another challenge at CAS Christmas.
Loll is hosting our challenge this month.
The Design team is joined by a fabulous Guest Designer,
Marina (My Perfect Life).
I love this Spellbinder Layered Poinsettia die!
I've die cut from watercolor paper and used Worn Lipstick DOX ink
to watercolor the poinsettia and Pine Needles DI
to watercolor the leaves.
The pine sprigs die cuts were extras tucked in with the dies.
I added a bit more color and arranged it on this
two piece frame. There's a piece of vellum behind the frame
to soften the background a bit.
I stamped the sentiment in gray instead of black
to pair with the soft color of the flower.
Since I've colored my die cuts, I'll add this to the gallery at
Challenges:
Enjoy!

It's soft & beautiful, and I love the background dies. How pretty layered as you've done the different sizes; showcases that lovely pink poinsettia just perfectly. Another scorcher here. Stay cool. TFS &Hugs

Amazing colours and dimension from your layered poinsettia spray with pine needles. And it looks so pretty on the gorgeous intricate layered background. Adding the vellum adds a dreaminess to the look. Very beautiful and elegant card Bonnie! xx
Oh my...this is absolutely GORGEOUS Bonnie!! Your Poinsettia is so pretty using the soft pink color and really pops against the greenery and that fabulous white frame! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
Lovely soft colour for the poinsettia - a great contrast to the bright greenery. And the background is fabulous - what a good idea to put in the piece of vellum!
Wow, this is gorgeous Bonnie. Love the soft colors and that die cut background is the perfect touch. TFS
Happy 4th of July.
This is total elegance. Bonnie! That die is just gorgeous and you formed your poinsettia so beautifully! My gosh, this is just beautiful!
Oh Miss Bonnie - you sure are good and this is one delightful Christmas Card. Without a doubt, one of the prettiest Christmas Cards I have ever seen! May I ask you who makes that Flower Background Die?
I think we have ruled out Cary and gong to see a retirement center in the mountains of N.C. even though my daughter lives in Raleigh. Believe me, you and my daughter are quite a draw for the eastern part of the state!
