Pink Poinsettias

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps.  This week we have a beautiful inspiration photo for you:

And here is the card I created:

Of course, I had to go with the pink poinsettias!  I also drew in some of the green and  added a bit or red and brown.  My card design was inspired by fellow Rock Star, Esther, and her card below:

I thought that wreath image was really pretty and wanted to duplicate the look using Repeat Impressions stamps.  So, I started with my pink poinsettias, Then I added some berries and leaves which are actually blueberries, but since I stamped them in brown, I was able to fudge the coloring a little and now they make perfect red, accent berries.  Then I stamped, colored and selectively cut some pine branches to add greenery to the arrangement, and layered everything on top of a brown die cut wreath.  The white panel was a little stark, so I stamped some sheet music in light gray, wiping off the edges so there wouldn't be any sharp edges.  I die cut the white panel with a stitched die, mounted it on gold glitter paper and then again on the hot pink card base.  Oh, and I finished it all off with a Merry Christmas sentiment strip.  In the photo below, you can see more of the shine from the glitter paper.

Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you head on over to The House blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done with this photo.  And if you "need" any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your entire order coupon code over in my lift sidebar.
