Poinsettia Joy

 A few weeks ago, I was thrilled to be a guest at the Flower challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown with this card. But I actually made a different card first...

Poinsettia Joy

I like this card, but I just wasn't feeling it for the challenge.  I think mainly because it was record-setting heat outside my window and these rich and classic colors just weren't calling my name. (The card I posted had a lot of white and softer colors.)  I've mentioned my friend Carol a few times this week - that she was worried she wasn't getting emails with my posts but in reality, I just hadn't been posting - so just for her, I decided I should post this card this week!

The "JOY" comes from The Stamp Market. I replaced the "O" with a poinsettia from Holiday Blooms by Spellbinders. There are so many more flowers in the set, but I like just this simple arrangement to mirror the paper in the background.

Thanks to Carol for my inspiration to post it!

  2. Your other card is delightful with the fresh, modern look, but I do really love this one! I've always wanted to replace the O with a poinsettia, so maybe this is the year! Love how it goes with that beautiful paper!
