Muse: Christmas Visions #1


Hi everyone hope you are having a great weekend I have went to see Wicked! at the theatre with a friend it was brilliant!, then met our husbands and went out for tea and then back to ours for a catch up which went on til the wee small hours but it was good fun.:-)
But onto the card....

When I saw Kimberly's vibrant and eye -catching card for the very first challenge over at  Muse; Christmas Visions , I really, really wanted to take part ,amd had an idea but no large  poinsettia dies/ stamps.grrr

 So had a wee trawl through my stash and found a really small poinsettia stamp from goodness knows where!
So decided to use it, and use the untraditional and inspirational blue and gold colours.

I used a SU ornament punch and stamped it with versamark then heat embossed it with gold as I did with the sentiment from the Su endless wishes stamp set.Then stamped another ornament with the poinsettia stamp,twice but kinda liked the look of them just in the versamark so left them as they were.They were then mounted the top one with dimensional foam to make it pop out a bit more.Then just because its a Christmas card added three little gems to sparkle!
These may have been colours that I would never have tried except for this challenge but I must confess I really like the colours together and how the card turned out so thanks Kimberley from getting me out of my comfort zone!
and
Thanks for taking the time to look
