You're the Best

Who would've thought to make a card with poinsettias that isn't a Christmas card. I don't know who else, but I did. Coloring the flowers in completely unexpected colors can make them look very un-Christmassy and more every-day, I think. What do you think? Does it work? Here's my card.  

The Pinkfresh Studio poinsettia set is what I used for my card today. I think I like how it turned out. The larger leaf sprigs and berries are from a set by  Ellen Hutson called Holiday Sprigs. I needed just a little more space filler and these fit perfectly. 

The sentiment is hot foiled in gold using the negative piece from the Modern Script Sentiments solid foil plate and die. I hadn't intended to use the negative piece until I placed it on the card and love the look of it. So the positive piece goes in the box for another card.  A piece of small paper doily adds a little more interest and dimension. 

The background piece is the Geo Tiles cover plate die. Behind it, I used the ink that was left on my brushes to add a little touch of color.

Of course, one must add bling, which I did here with the Pinkfresh Studio Metallic Pearls in gold. Ahhh, just right! Plus, a few bits of foam tape to the sentiment pops it up to finish the card.
