This week's Merry Monday Challenge is fabulous and chosen by my teammate, Karen Davis. The inspiration is awesome from the team...they have gone above and beyond!
I love flowers and poinsettias. I just had to have this beautiful poinsettia stamp set from Stampin' Up. I stamped it onto red paper with black ink and then cut it out for some easy paper piecing. Then I added some burlap ribbon, also from Stampin' Up and wrapped some twine around it. And I am REALLY into Sequins these days, so I added a square sequin to the middle of my poinsettia.
Someone did not want me to take a photo of my card...hehehe...she loves the heat from the light tent. Penney is my craftroom helper!
Go and play along with us this week...and we have two new designers joining us too!!!
