This was an interesting sketch. I thought I would try and keep it simple.
I masked the white panels and sponged Shaded Spruce over the rest of the Whisper White panel. The flowers were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with Stampin' Blends and then a Black marker was used to outline the white panels.
Thanks for looking.
Blog details will be available later this week.

Your card really catches the eye! Love the contrast of the green background with the poinsettia panels. Your masking and colouring is perfect. I thought it was DP! Lovely sentiment too!

The small poinsettias were just perfect for creating your own dp. The angled strips are very pretty behind the sentiment focal image. Great card for the sketch.

Beautiful Christmas card! What a great idea to do the diagonals on one layer instead of using strips of paper. I would never think of that. Looks like it was fun to make!

I really like the CAS look of this card ~ masking off the diagonal sections is a great idea and I'm a fan of that lovely shade of ink ~ such a pretty Christmas card!
