I watched a video earlier this year that suggested you could use any flower on a Christmas card as long as you color it red. I don't have a poinsettia die, so I cut two different sizes of stitched flowers and stacked them to create this faux poinsettia. Does it work for you?
Everything on this card was created with snippets. (In fact, as you can see from the photo, I maximized how much I could get out of a small snippet of red and one of gold.) The red mirror snippet was salvaged from a Christmas card -- it was the lining in the envelop, which seems almost better than using snippets up.
The gold diagonal strips are simply gold washi tape.
This card is entered in these challenges:
Snippets Playground #495 -- use snippets
Simon Says Stamp Monday -- use dies
ABC Christmas -- favorite color combo (red and gold)
Word Art Wednesday #677 -- anything goes
Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2449 -- anything goes
Well done for making such good use of your pretty snippets Sandy. Your festive card is wonderful.
