Pink Christmas

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's October and time for the Jingle Belles Pink Christmas.

I really appreciate that Stef and Lauren do this every year!

I've embossed poinsettias on some light pink cardstock (it's really more pinky

than this photo shows).  A few pats with a white inkpad over the raised portions

made a quick background.

I pulled out a die set with a poinsettia in it and die cut it three times; once from

a light green and twice from white.  I used a small blending brush inking it with

some pink ink and added color to the center of the flowers and lightly pulled the 

color over the petals.

The set included some Christmas greenery and I cut some of them from light

 green cardstock.  After inking them up, I tucked them around the flower.

The berries were punched from white glimmer and I used the ink left on the

brush to color them for berries.  The were placed over the "leaves" on a

sprig included in the die set.

I think this challenge ends this evening.  I really meant to get an earlier start and

make more than one.  Best laid plans!  Do check them out and I hope they get

lots of entries again this year.  You can find them here.
