Use a doily... No red, she said
This week, I've made one card to fit two challenges. Over at Bah! Humbug! the challenge is to use a doily, while the specification at Jingle Belles is to avoid that perrenial seasonal colour - red.
This card is heavily dependent on the cuttlebug and I really enjoyed making it.
Mounted on cream linen cardstock, I have used Marianne Creatables dies and nesties to make the doily. The flourishes and poinsettia are also Marianne dies.
The poinsettia is inked with Vintage Photo DI and finished with an adhesive pearl in the centre.
I hope you like it,
