Red Poinsettia Tag

Hi,

Short post, I am sharing a tag created for a couple challenges.

Virginia's View Challenge #25 - Stripes and Plaid

25 Days of Christmas Tags by Tracey McNeely

The Heart Desires Challenge #6

And here's my tag.

I was inspired by several artists who use poinsettia on their tags on Day 4 of the 25 Days of Christams Tags.

I stamped the plaid panel using Hero Arts cling stamp Canvas Stripes with Barn Door, Peeled Paint, and Antique Linen.  Trimmed and adhered to red tag, and added a fussy cut poinsettia flower which was painted with Twinkling H2Os on gold embossed outline.  The stamp is by Bonnidee.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a lovely day!

Golden Poinsettia

Happy Friday everybody,

Today I am playing along The Hear Desires Challenge #6.

I chose to use the sketch, the color red, and wood grain for my card.

The lovely poinsettia stamp I used is designed and made by a local stamp store owner.  Her store is called Bonnidee.  As a manner of fact, I took my very first card making class at her store.  Her designs are beautiful and she has lots of French stamps as well.  Check it out at her store.

Other supplies:

Hero Arts clear stamp: Vintage Christmas Post (I used one of the sentiment)
Memory Box cutting die:  Forest Pine Branch
clear embossing ink
gold embossing powder
Daniel Smith water color

Thanks for stopping by.  I wish you a lovely day.
