A Very Merry Christmas - AHSC #224

My card this week as Design Team Member for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #224. Join this challenge...you have until Sunday, Aug 13th to enter your project.  

The twist for Happy Little Stampers "Christmas" was a poinsettia, and I had the perfect die for this sketch.  Die cut a red and a green poinsettia band and pieced the red flower into the green band. Chose my design papers from White Pines.  


The design team reveal for this sketch will be on Wednesday, so be sure to stop by to see the beautiful cards from the rest of the design team and other entrant inspirations for this challenge...and stop by every Monday for new sketches. Don't wait for the DT post to create your project...show us up with your artwork.  

On the inside of the card a border die cut using one of the same design papers from the front of the card.

So beautiful you used this puncher. Poinsettia perfectly fits our turn in the HLS masses. Very beautiful design.
Thank you for taking part in our fun.

Christmas cards in August... my brain just isn't there yet. I love those poinsettia die cuts though. Surely you must be close to using up your stash of White Pines by now! Gorgeous card.
