HLS Christmas Challenge October "Poinsettia"

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:


Here is my card:


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!


Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the inspiration from the rest of the team, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. 

Challenges entered:
CHNC Extra - anything Christmas goes
Christmas Stampin' all Year Round - favourite Christmas combo or lots of layers
Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge - anything goes with embossing
Alphabet Challenge - Q is for quick and simple
