I'll be back with a direct link to the challenge later - had a long day out on Wednesday and Carla is kindly making the challenge live for me so I don't have to get up early! You'll find it stickied at the top of the WTUI forum.

Wow Sabrina, these cards are just gorgeous!! My brain likes order so collage does not work for me at all, however, you have just expanded my awareness to include collage in a mixed media way that is really interesting and something I may be able to do. I love how the poinsettia just pops off both of these cards in such a beautiful way and what a gorgeous sentiment die this is too! ~Karen.

really lovely! soft colors and that is a rare thing for a holiday card. i am amazed at the backgrounds you chose and how wonderfully interesting it makes the card. not holiday stamps, but very cohesive to the collage. Wonderful! thanks for showing how to see outside the traditional! Teresa

You are so talented with this collage technique! I really like both of the color combinations on these poinsettia cards, but the red and gold one really takes my breath away!
