White & Silver Poinsettia

The JustRite challenge #108 is to use a sketch designed by Sheri Holt. I usually don't use sketches, but this one is fabulous. You can keep it simple and it makes a lovely card or you can really ramp it up !

I decided to keep it fairly simple and use some of my favourite things. (To make yet another card that doesn't photograph well.) I don't buy a lot of Christmas crafting supplies, because I already have enough, but when I saw the JustRite Poinsettia stamp set matched to the Spellbinders Poinsettias, it was "Let me at it !". This is so versatile and will be a favourite of mine for years to come. A few of my other favourite things I used were Spellbinders Gold Labels Four and Labels Four, the JR Harlequin background stamp, mirror card and a fabulous fancy cardstock that has a shine an a linen like finish on it ( YUM!!). I wish that that cardstock would show up better. I took a dozen (or more) photos, but finally settled on this one.


Instead of cutting the background, I used a silvery ribbon to bisect my card creating the four quadrants like in the sketch. I also added bling and Shimmer spray, what can I say, I like shiny!
Here's the link to the JustRite Challenge #108. The entries are beyond awesome!
I also am entering this in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge "Anything Goes"
I recently placed an order there and not only do they have everything imaginable, but the shipping to Canada was awesome!
