This is my Design Team card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #466. The Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #442 reminded me of a die with poinsettias that was in my stash and would be perfect as the focal point from the sketch in creating a Christmas card. Of course the colors in the grid were not traditional Christmas colors, but it would work with Sangria and Rosemary for the floral and leaves and a soft pink for the background. How pretty is that?
Several cuts were made of the poinsettia die using the Sangria, Ballerina and Rosemary cardstock and shuffled around until I was happy with the mix. The Ballerina was a layer buried, glued the Rosemary layer and then pieced the Poinsettia leaves with two sets of Sangria for dimension and curling the tips. The floral was adhered to the Ballerina base and layered with Sangria. I didn't have enough space on the bar for my sentiment, so it was placed at the bottom of the floral using Eggplant ink, closest to the Sangria color. The flowers were brushed using the clear glitter pen. The one Sangria die cut was used on the bottom of the card inside so it wouldn't go in my stash or trash.
Both challenges are on the side bar of the Color My Heart Color Dare challenge blog. Please check out Design Team Cards and other entrants to give you inspiration and join us for future fun color challenges.

Suzanne I love this card! I love the non-traditional colors for Christmas. The die cut is so pretty and delicate. Great job!
This is so pretty Suzanne. This year I am all about the poinsettia so your card is right up my street! X
I love your take on the sketch with the poinsettias crossing the center panel and the sentiment underneath. This is such a pretty colour scheme as well! Thanks for sharing with us at Atlantic Hearts :)
Those deep shades are so bold and beautiful. Your poinsettias make a strong statement on that pink background, and are beautifully grounded by the strip of the perfect shade of green. Gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing your Pink project with us at Cut it Up!
