Carta Bella Merry & Bright for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Welcome to my take on the latest Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  I had the hardest time deciding on a shape for the design along the left side.  I tried a few different ones before going with the Stampin Up punch.  The paper was easy, I chose a 6x6 Carta Bella paper pad called Have a Merry Christmas.


Here is this week's sketch:


I free handed the white stitching with a gel pen.  I used the same paper pad to die cut and create the poinsettia.  I added a brad and sequin to the center.


Ingredients:
Carta Bella 6x6 Have a Merry Christmas
Spellbinders Nesting Poinsettia dies
Spellbinders Petite label one dies
Stampin Up All Year Cheer stamp
Stampin Up Tailored Tag punch
brad and sequin
white gel pen

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:










Play along with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge until Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by today

Alicia

  3. What a beautiful and elegant Christmas card, I like the colour combo youve worked with. The poinsettia is such a great centerpiece, and it goes so well with the patterns behind it. I also like how you repeated the floral pattern on the strip in the background. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.

    Hugs, Veronika
