FTTC186 Christmas Inspiration

I am back for the second week as the September Guest Designer for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge, thank you so much to those of you who came and commented on my card - it is so appreciated!!

 

 

Poinsettia and Boxwood Stamp set

 

 

 

This weeks challenge is brought to us by Amanda who has challenged us to an inspiration challenge - a Christmas theme with a photo from Pinterest as our Inspiration.  I have chosen this photo:

and was a great inspiration with the Flourishes Poinsettia and Boxwood stamp set - it doesn't get more 'Christmas' than that!

 

 

The image is coloured with Prismacolor Pencils and Odourless Mineral Spirits, lots of layering of colour - so much fun I must admit - colouring is very relaxing, almost therapeutic!

 

 

 

The flower has been popped up onto foam tape to give that added dimension that I love, it is then layered onto the Spellbinders Labels Twenty Seven, followed by the Decorative Labels Twenty Seven, each layer having foam tape between it.  My Dies have been cut using the Grand Calibur.

 

 

 

Seam Binding, a stocking charm and a remnant of braid finish off the card.

 

Please stop by the FTTC design team blogs for some wonderful inspiration, these girls are amazing...we would love to see you play along.
