This is my card for Toni's Dr Seuss Day WTUI challenge which you can find HERE.
In all honesty I can't remember all the details on the twinchie square, because it's one that didn't make it onto a winter sampler, meaning that I must have made it back in November...The background was I think a stencil resist using shimmer sprays, distress inks and a TCW stencil. The poinsettia is from Verve, stamped and embossed with gold and sponged with red inks. The leaves are actually petals from a Spellbinder poinsettia die. I added pearls for the centre and some gold cord.
For the background I used an SU mask and sponged in some Christmas stripes, then edged it with a black pen. Added a simple outline sentiment with some Stickles to make it sparkle.

Pretty Christmas card with the peppermint cane stripes as a bg...very effective on the diagonal. The embossed stylized poinsettia makes a lovely focal point.

I love the sponged BG on this Sabrina. I noticed in my DP stash some time ago I do not have great red stripped paper. Then after seeing this card and your BG I remembered I have stripped stencils so now I can make my own red stripped paper. Thank you for the inspiration. You created a wonderful Christmas card with the paper you created and the flower.
