Just squeaking in with a card for the current Flourishes challenge, FTTC74, Christmas in July. I used the Flourishes set Poinsettia & Boxwood, along with the current sketch from WMS sketch challenge #5. I stamped the small poinsettia from the set on PTI's Vintage Cream with Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink and then colored with a Prisma pencil and the blending pencil. Since I used the WMS sketch, I incorporated a stamp from the WMS set Very Vintage Labels 3 stamped in VersaMagic Sage on PTI's Vintage Cream cs and the die cut with my Cuttlebug and corresponding die. I'm so excited because this week I will be getting four new sets of stamps from WMS!!!
This is one of those times I wish I had a sewing machine so I could do a bit of stitching on the card, but alas I have no space for even a tiny machine! I used some lovely crocheted ribbon I got from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.
Thanks for taking a peek. Flourishes is having a 12 days of Christmas sale now through the 18th of July. All Christmas stamps are 25% off. Go check it out! Hope you have a lovely day!

Such a pretty Christmas card! I like the lace & pointsettia. :> I have a sewing machine, but I have yet to use it for papercrafting. On the occasion that I sew on a card or layout, I use a paper piercer, punch the holes & then hand sew it in. I do like to use Tim Holtz's clear grid ruler....it has a series of holes to use as a guide for piercing or sewing......and it doesn't take up any room, just slips into your tool bag! :>:> Sending out wishes for a marvelous Monday to you!
