FTTC186 Pinterest Christmas & a New Release!

~

~

Hello!  It's time for a new Timeless Tuesday challenge at the Flourishes blog and today we're joining with the Senior DT to introduce you to the 2nd in this week's 5 NEW Flourishes Christmas releases! 

Yesterday they introduced the Trimmed With Love set featuring a gorgeous traditional Christmas tree with all the trimmings.  Today we're using the truly classic & beautiful Poinsettia and Pine.

Our challenge today - FTTC186 - is to use a Christmas photo from Pinterest as our inspiration.  As I browsed through my Christmas Ideas board on Pinterest, I noticed that most of the photos I had pinned were of simple, nature-inspired settings and decorations.  This is the photo I chose as my inspiration today.~

See the simple, traditional, and natural elements with just a touch of sparkle?  That's how I decided to make my card today using the new Poinsettia and Pine stamp set.

I stamped my image on Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and then colored it with my Copic markers.  I stamped a second set of the top leaves as well, colored them and popped them up on foam tape, and added a tiny bit of sparkle to the center of the poinsettia.

The sentiment is stamped in Memento Pistachio ink.  I added a piece of textured patterned paper, and an embossed kraft panel by stitching it to the ivory base panel.

These are the Copic Collections that I used:
