Tuesday Morning Sketches has a sketch for you each Tuesday, and I will be providing inspiration bi-weekly, sharing the Design Team position with one of my favourite crafty friends... you'll have to check back next week at Tuesday Morning Sketches to find out who she is!
I liked this week's sketch as soon as I saw it! It's a fun one and can be used for a variety of occasions, but I knew right away I wanted to make a festive holiday poinsettia card!
I die-cut the poinsettia and leaves (Poppystamps Small Blooming Poinsettia) in red, green, and gold foil posterboard. The patterned paper scrap is from K and Company, and I embossed the beige panel with Couture Creations Sugarplum Ball. The sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts, stamped with Your Next Stamp Holly Berry Red, and I finished off my card with a number of red, green, and gold sequins.
Here's this week's sketch, designed by Debbie - Sketch 528:

Ooooh, what a pretty card! Great idea to cut the poinsettia from mirror card KT, it's gorgeous. I also like the background you made, the split between the patterned paper and plain card stock looks great and I love the addition of the embossing to bring it all together. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Beccy
This is absolutely beautiful. I love the foil you used with the poinsettia. [Bunny]`

Wow did I miss this? Congratulations on your DT spot I love Tuesday Morning sketches, Your card is gorgeous I probably didn't notice it because it didn't have a Kitty on it lol. I usually check on Monday on facebook. That sketch is perfect for a poinsettia and I might just have to try it, but not for the challenge I quite often use past TMS for my cards.
ReplyDeletecongrats!
