Poinsettia Spray with Candles

Happy Wednesday! Here's another card for the current Christmas Kickstart Challenge #97 - Positively Poinsettias. Jo & elf Bobby want to see poinsettias on a Christmas card & I have many poinsettia items in the stash!!

Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card;

 BoBunny Joyful Christmas; many scraps

Dies - Spellbinders Holiday Label Motifs

(retired but found HERE at Frantic Stamper);

Sizzix Tim Holtz Vault Festive Wreath;

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Other - Copic Markers; foam tape

Just because I have many poinsettia items, there's always room for more! Not too far from my dad's house there's a JoAnn store & I popped in to shop their Going-Out-Of-Business sale. I picked up the Tim Holtz wreath set plus a few more items I couldn't resist. First I die cut the candles, flowers, and foliage from the TH set and assembled. Shaded with Copics where desired.

I didn't want to made the wreath from the set - so, what to do with my candle arrangement? I spotted another never-before-used set in the stash - this one from Spellbinders. I picked it up during a 2023 Arizona trip & hadn't given it a go until now. It features the ray label with a lantern; I skipped the lantern and substituted my candles. Die cut the rays plus a background and mat layer, then assembled. 

Die cut a rectangle from musical patterned paper & adhered to an A2 card. Added the ray panel with foam tape, then the candle arrangement. I finished it off with a banner sentiment from the bits box. It's been there forever &, as I, it's a long retired Spellbinders banner shaded with Copics (one left HERE at Frantic Stamper as of this post date). It was stamped, I believe, with an old Hero Arts sentiment - no idea which set. Quick and easy!!

I'm playing along with Darnell's IDEAS program (see her fabulous inspiration cards HERE) where the week's theme is Dies. Since both the candles and rays die sets are getting first play here, I'll also add my card to Darnell's April NBUS Challenge #73. Finally, I'll link to the current Creative Crafters Challenge #87 where anything goes.

That's it for today, friends. I appreciate you stopping by & hope you have a wonderful day!
