With all these challenges this week being on the Christmas in July themes, I have a few more Christmas cards in my box. I have been weaving some of my many. many scrap strips of white into some mats lately trying to use them. Using one as the background for this card, I stamped my poinsettia onto a part of the last sheet I have of a very old paper (Mauve Mist), embossed it and the leaves, then cut them out. I popped up the center of the flower which I stamped and cut in the same way and where I added paint dots for the flower stamens. I also added a little shading with a "begonia" Copic marker to the flower petals When I got out the olive paper I found a piece of mulberry paper in the folder and decided to use it as a mat for my flower. I started to add some sequins and beads but decided to just keep this very simple.

Stunning, Pat. I love your less traditional choice of rose fo r the poinsettia. That shade of green and pink are gorgeous together. The woven bg is very creative and pretty. Grea t card.
