Christmas Card Club Challenge 6. Christmas Flowers
Good Morning Everyone. Its time again for another challenge at our Christmas Card Club. This time its the lovely Rachel who chose our theme this time round. Everyone probably knows by now how much I love Poinsettias, so of course that is exactly what I have chose. I used Tim holtz dies on Vellum and painted them with starlight paint by Imagination. My card is 5 x 7 and I used this gorgeous 3D embossing folder as my first layer. added another die to hold my sentiment before attaching my finished Poinsettias. I used Imagination Alchemy wax to highlight the embossing and once again no bow was added. Hope you are all well and enjoying this lovely spring weather too. I have been teaching my daughter Annie to knit socks on 5 needles and I'm so glad to report she finished them in 2 weeks and cannot wait to do her next pair, in fact she has already cast them on. See You All Soon. Hugs Rita xxxxx

Beautiful card, Rita! Your vellum poinsettias are so gorgeous and your embossing frames them so nicely. The paint you used on the poinsettias is so shimmery looking...they are really eye catching!
I love poinsettias too, Rita, and this pair are stunning. Love how you done the background layer, as it's such an elegant layer for your pretty poinsettias. Great colors for them too, as they look quite delicate with this color, and the waxing enhanced them so nicely. Good job on your daughter's knitting. 5 needles, gosh I couldn't even use one! The sox are lovely and will be so cozy on cold feet! TFS & Hugs
Your card is so beautiful Rita, you always make the most gorgeous flowers and these are no exception, I love the red against the white and gold background!
Annie has done a brilliant job with those socks, they look so professional, you are obviously an excellent teacher Rita! Hugs, Anne xx
Hi there Rita, absolutely gorgeous card, love your flowers and the wonderful rich red colour you've painted them. Beautifully designed with the 3D EF and gilding wax.
Now Annie's socks are gorgeous, well done to her for tackling them, she'll be hooked now. Love the yarn, looks like Arn and Carlos, keep cosy and well, Kate x
Such a lovely card, the embossing is so defined and looks fabulous with the gold wax highlighting it. A fabulous card.

You daughter did a spectacular job on the socks!!! I could not even use two needles!!!!
Hi Rita, love your card. I think we've all reached for the Poinsettia stamps this time round, lol. Also made me realise I have Poinsettia stencils, and at least one embossing folder somewhere! I was just out of time to find what to use, sadly. Hugs, Shaz XxX
Pretty poinsettias and you have reminded me of stash bought and never used. I have loads of imagination goodies. I love the way you have enhanced the embossing folder too. Hugs Mrs A.
Your card is a real stunner Rita.
