Good evening all.

My third post for today...you can find my Stencil Sunday post here and my Christmas Card Club post here.

Another month has passed and it's time once again for a new Christmas challenge at Happy Little Stampers. The theme this month is:

Stamp is a magazine freebie from Penny Black. I stamped and heat embossed with white EP three times and layered with foam pads. Sentiment from HLS Mixed Christmas Sentiments set. Dies from Spellbinders. Embossing folder from Crafts Too. I finished the centre of the poinsettia with gold stickles. 

Love red, green and white for Christmas!

    What a beautiful poinsettia Carol and the green layer behind enhances it so prettily. I love the dots in the background and the sentiment on that great shaped die cut mat too. x

    Carol, this is one awesome poinsettia...love the white embossing and the layering. The red & green petals & leaves look so rich against the white embossed layer, then with the additional mats in the dark traditional colors...just so gorgeous. TFS & Hugs
