Poinsetta Christmas Card

I have to admit when it comes to Christmas Cards I  do tend to lean more to traditional colours but this year I   have seen a few lovely Teal and Silver combinations going around. I was keen to have a go with my new  Memory Box Poinsettia Die and fresh from a class using plain old alfoil embossed as a background.  It is a really easy technique, just gluing some alfiol to a piece of cardstock ( no need to remove all of the crinkles) just to givevit a little more stabilityand running it through an embossing folder of your choice. I think even using the less shiny side of the alfoil would take on another great look. I also stamped the darker teal with white ink and heat embossed the little snowflakes.

Now I  am keen to make anotherfew designs in teal and silver. Craft emergency, I have run out of the Coredinations Aquarium and am now housebound and unable to drive. I wonder if my mother will be good enough to pick some up for me :)

Thanks for stopping by.
