I like to take advantage of these Anything Goes challenges to add to my stash of Christmas cards. I try to work on them all throughout the year so I don't have too many to make when December rolls around. I started with my little strip of scraps at the bottom (I think I only have one left from this paper pack!), added a scalloped border die cut from a scrap of red and a strip of ribbon. Then I stamped the frame and sentiment and stamped, colored and fussy cut the poinsettia. Finished everything off with some Light Gold Nuvo drops (partly to cover up some errant ink smudges).
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will hop over to the House blog to see the rest of the DT's creations and then get inky and play along with us. And if you need any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your ENTIRE order coupon code over in my left sidebar.

I love how you use your strips and scraps of paper packs. Your poinsettia is very pretty and looks great with this frame. I forget to use these. Inspirations to do so.
Great use of snippets and a lovely card Heather! Love the colours too.
