It's week two of "Poinsettia Perfection" at Jingle Belles. As you may recall, we are making holiday cards that feature poinsettias OR other holiday blooms, plants or greens, such as mistletoe, holly and pine. Here's what I made this week:
Way back in February, for the "Midnight Clear" prompt, I had made a card built on a well-hoarded, super-sturdy Hambly Screen Prints transparency base, which reminded me how much I love those AND generated an interesting idea involving washi tape which I've finally gotten around to right here! As you can see, I just added strips of red and green washi dangling down from the topfold of the card. I've wrapped them around to the back as well, but trimmed those edges slightly shorter than the ones on the front so that they don't show. I was on the point of attaching some poinsettia diecuts when this hand-painted, machine-stitched poinsettia (which I made a while ago but for some reason didn't use) literally fell out of an envelope full of crafty "leftovers" which seemed like a pretty clear SIGN, so of course I used it, lol.
JB2514: Poinsettia Perfection runs until Wednesday evening, July 16th. Hop over to Jingle Belles to see Stephanie's card and to link up your own bloomin' beauties.
