I just got this beautiful die set by Amazing Grace, for Spellbinders , today in the mail and had to use one of the dies right away. The sentiment frame is from this set, and the poinsettia die is by Poppystamps. Pulled out some scrap gingham paper from my stash and went for a somewhat non-traditional color combo of black and white, royal and deep red. As I only had a tiny piece of black ribbon in my ribbon drawer, I had to combine two different widths to make my tie and bow (shhhh...don't tell anyone). Snipped apart a swirl of adhesive rhinestones for the poinsettia center, and hand cut the royal blue banner flag. Even the royal blue and white card stock were scraps that barely fit my die and measurements. Love using up snippets!

Such a striking colour combination! I love the gingham paper and i was hoping you’d mention what the tiny bits are in the middle of the lovely poinsettia. :) Thank you so much for sharing with the Rudolph Days Challenge. Sorry to be late in commenting but blogger won’t let me comment unless i switch to google app on my ipad.
