Lantern

Happy Friday!  Time for another challenge from Christmas Stampin' All Year Long.  This week it is a sketch challenge.  You have to chose one of the sketches created by the DT and make your project with that sketch.  I chose a nice CAS layout, 'cause I usually use someone elses sketch to get my card started.

Our sponsor this week is the fabulous Fred She Said and the winner will receive $10 to use in the store.

I got to use this gorgeous image: Christmas Poinsettia Lantern.  It's a beauty to color up.  I added gold pen to the centers of the flowers and a sponged circle around the candle flame.  Heat embossed the sentiment in gold and added a few clear rhinestones.  And it's done!  Now go check out all the sketch choices on the CSAYL blog and come play along.

Challenges:
Wags 'n Wiskers #113--sparkle (the gold flower centers, gold sparkly thread, gold embossing and gems)
Card Mania #30--cute as a button
Love to Scrap #14--run for the border
Tuesday Throwdown #166--Clean and Simple (must use a stamp)

Supplies:
Stamps: Fred She Said "Christmas Poinsettia Lantern" digi; Verve "Merry and Bright" sentiment
Punches: Fiskars "Upper Crest" border punch
