Christmas Poinsettia PPA 17

Poinsettia Punch Art 

My card today was created for the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge.  PPA 17

The sketch was designed by Margaret Moody.  This sketch was so fun to follow.  My square Nestibilities set arrived just in time for this challenge. 

My card base is Whisper White Textured Cardstock, layer 2, is also Whisper White Cardstock, embossed with the Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  I then layered my 4 squares of Holiday Lounge DSP, #115676 onto Whisper White Cardstock.  For added dimension, I popped onto the dotted background.  I then added my Punch Art Poinsettia to the center of the DSP squares.  Here’s the Poinsettia Punch Art Tutorial.  Poinsettia Punch Art ClsupI stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes, #1158370 onto Whisper White Cardstock using Real Red.  Using the Modern Label Punch, #116630 I punched a piece of Ruby Red, Taken with Teal Cardstock and the stamped sentiment.  I then cut the Ruby Red and the Taken with Teal label in half and layered them behind the sentiment with clear flat dots. 

Here is the inside of my card today.  Poinsettia Punch Art PPA 17 clsup
