Craft Roulette #234

 Finally got time to watch last weekend's Craft Roulette episode #234 and had some "funn" making a card after work today.   I had a design in my mind, so it quickly came together.  This is my 24th submission.

Made my 6"x6" card base from a sheet of 12"x12" white card.  Cut a 5.5" square panel and ran it through my die machine with a MRMK 3D embossing folder to add some texture.   Next I added the burlap and lace cloth.  Layered it onto a black mat. Took some of the rest of the card from the base and added a rainbow of colour with Distress Oxide inks.  Took the outline stamp from Altenew's Beautiful Day and stamped and then die cut.   Stamped the leaves twice, and die cut, leaving them uncoloured.  Finished with a die cut sentiment that was in my baggie of sentiments.  

So glad that the thought in my mind actually turned out just how I imagined it!  

Christmas Poinsettia with Burlap and Lace

 I've had a couple of stamped and embossed Poinsettia images on my desk for a while.  I was gifted them - just for the life of me, can't remember who it was and which company made them....  I had watercoloured one of the images with red paint and fussy cut it, So over the weekend, I took a second image and used some green paint to watercolour it and fussy cut it too. I then liberally spritzed with some Shimmer Spritz Frost.   Layered them together to make a fuller Poinsettia. 

A while back I picked up a roll of burlap that had a centre row of lace already sewn on it.   I thought it would look lovely with the poinsettia - and it did.   I had some pre-printed digital sentiments and used an Altenew die to cut one out.   So a very quick card was done with the addition of a green gem in the centre of the flower.
