Christmas flower

Another new challenge has started over at STAMPlorations. I'm joining the girls in the CUTplorations team for this month's CUTplorations challenge. See how the photo inspires you + use dies/die-cuts (any brand) and at least 1 STAMPlorations product in your project.

It was hard for me to ignore the poinsettia in the photo...that and the fact that this large poinsettia stamp has been my go-to stamp lately for creating Christmas cards. So I stamped it and fussy cut it. I also die-cut the holiday words from the holiday words plate die, stuck it onto my card base and sponged Distress oxide inks. Splattered a little bit of water to make the splotches and then stuck my large poinsettia on top with foam tape.

Challenges:

• Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge #414 - Anything Christmas Goes
• 12 Months of Christmas Link Up #48 - Anything Goes Christmas

I hope you'll play along this month at the CUTplorations Challenge. Create any project -- just make sure  you include die-cuts (any brand) and at least 1 STAMPlorations product. (No STAMPlorations product yet? You can grab a free digi here.) The challenge closes end of the month. The winner (voted by the design team) will receive a $15 GC to the STAMPlorations store.

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to smile :o)
