Just before this challenge came out, mom and I(heartsong47) were looking at Kitties gallery as we both now her well, and just love her work, you should go check it out if you havent yet...:0). A bit late for this challenge but had to send the card away quite a distance and wanted to wait till mom saw it first before uploading it, becaseu we look at each others gallery all the time. Do wish we lived closer together so we could stamp together...:0)
WE both saw this card...Fleur De Lis Poinsettia by kittie747 at Splitcoaststampers ...and mom loved it so much and I havent made her Christmas card yet so i decided to make this one for her.
I dont have any cutters or stamps for this so i just drew the leaves, cut them out, and used a pen over top of a pice of foam and kind of shaped lines or veins into them all. Then just glued them on, added the gold ribbon or beaded string, the extra punched pine leaves, and set that all onto the white embossed paper and layered it in the same red as the flower. thanks Kittie for the lovely inspiration. Thanks for visiting...:0)
I am not sure totally how to add to the CT1211, so will add that info here as it is for there as well as I was making this thinking of Chrstmas lists, and one thing I would like is a "live: plant...lol...they keep dying on me....I think I kill them with kindness, or over water, at the moment I have herbs from out in our garden, we brought them in for the winter and so far they surviing...but rest died...again...maybe I shouldn't wish for a live plant...not fair for them...lol
