merry & bright...

 Here with a quick post for a card that I made for several challenges:  Freshly Made Sketches, Color Throwdown and the Flower challenge.  

Recently my sweet friend, Greta, purchased the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Seasonal Sketch die set.  She was so kind and gifted me with several die cuts and I was determined to use them on a card.  The cuts Greta sent me were white so it was easy to use some ink cubes in the CTD colored to add the color to the solid die cuts and the overlays.   Once they were dry I adhered the overlayed on the solid cuts.  I created the background panel by adding black cardstock to a piece of white cardstock and then die cut it.  I die cut another piece of white cardstock per the sketch and then adhered the poinsettia and the holly leaves to this panel.  I added dots of black Nuvo drops to the center of the flower and then adhered the sentiment that I hot foiled during the Pinkfresh Studio Perfect Sentiments: Holiday foil plate.  



Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!
