I think this is the first year we did not buy poinsettias for the house - but I can still put them on cards. They last longer! Here I place a couple along a curved edge with some beautiful paper from the Winter Collection peaking out. After I stamped and embossed this sentiment (LOVE this scripty Peace) in silver, there was this awkward white space. So I added strings of rhinestones down. Hope your Christmas season thus far has been beautiful and meaningful.
Recipe:
Stamps: ODBD Christmas Mini Set
Paper: ODBD Winter Collection 2014
Dies: ODBD Peaceful Poinsettia and Fancy Foliage, SB Curvy Borders

Well, Diana, you know how much I love RED for Christmas, and your red poinsettias are stunning! They are so beautiful with the foliage against the shaped white and DP. And the rhinestones below the wonderful sentiment are beautiful with your wonderfully matted border. Truly a beautiful card, sweet friend! (P. S. Since we live in South Florida, we plant our potted poinsettias and wait for them to turn, hopefully in time for Christmas. But we so enjoy them too!)
