Mini Poinsettias

I made this card to send to Viv for the December Card Chain Challenge.  This month's challenge is 'Tic Tac Tic Tac Toe' and I have chosen the top horizontal line (Green, Slimline, Scraps, Ribbon, Red).

To make this card I used:
     DL white matt card blank
     Lawn Fawn 'Outside In Stitched Square Stackables' All Occasion Dies 'Small Poinsettia' and Memory Box 'Mini Holly Leaves' dies
     Clearly Besotted 'Cheerful Christmas' sentiment stamp
     Versafine Crimson Red ink
     Snippets of red textured card, green textured card, white matt card, gold holographic card and gold and white ribbon

I trimmed a piece of white card and stamped the sentiment along the lower edge using Crimson Red ink.  I wrapped a piece of gold ribbon around the centre of the panel before layering it onto a snippet of green textured card and attaching it across the front of the card blank.  I die cut five small stitched squares from tiny snippets of green textured card and set them aside.  I die cut five small poinsettias from red textured card and embossed them with a silicone mat.  These were layered and attached to the green squares.  I used lots of tiny snippets of gold holographic card to die cut the holly berries which were then attached to the centre of the poinsettias.  The squares were attached to the card using foam tape to ensure they were securely attached above and below the ribbon band.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Love to Scrap - Anything Goes
     Merry Little Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes
     Winter Wonderland - Anything Christmas Goes


This is the lovely card I received from Joanne:

I see we are quite a few who went with the same bingo row. And what's extra fun is how different all cards turned out. I like the way you used the ribbon, and poinsettias are a great choice to use red and green. Your card is classy and beautifully traditional.
Wishing you Happy New Year!

What a beautiful card you made for Viv Kath, and I love the combination of the super gold ribbon with the green mats each with a pretty bright red poinsettia on, and the lovely red stamped sentiment to finish, and what a delightful card you received from Joanne with the cute bears. x
