A Pink Christmas

 Hi there.  The current challenge at Christmas Kickstart is "A Pink Christmas"   I did some Pink Christmas cards last year with some pretty patterned paper I purchased, but for my card today I CASED a card I recently received from my NZ swap friend, Carol.  Our challenge was to use a white die cut... I'll show her card after I show mine...

I smooshed some Altenew Fuchsia ink onto my craft mat and completely covered my panel with the ink.  I then took another panel and picked up what was left on the mat.  This gave me the pretty background that looks like clouds.  I used Cottage Cutz Stitched ovals to make my frames.  I die cut the Poinsettia with a Spellbinders die from the centre of the full panel of ink, before using it as the matting.  Waste not, want not!  I layered the flowers together and added some Soft Pink rhinestones to the centre and on the frames.    The sentiment was stamped with Magenta Ink (Altenew) with a stamp that was a free one several Christmas ago.  Love the scripty writing.

And here is the card I got from Carol. 

 Isn't it stunning.  You can see why it inspired me.  

Thanks for stopping by today.   Hope you all are well and coping with how the world is spinning at the moment.   I'm looking forward to a fun full weekend starting with the a family takeaway dinner tonight for hubby's birthday (today) and then up to spend the night at our friends up north and then on Sunday a quick trip back to Auckland so we can go to the Test between the All Blacks and the Australian rugby team.  Lucky to get given some tickets to a corporate box to watch the game.
