Peace on Earth has a very pretty pastel mood board for this challenge. I used the colours to inspire the poinsettia on my card.
For the poinsettia, I smooshed Spun Sugar and Tattered Rose pinks onto a piece of mixed media cs and Cracked Pistachio green and Tumbled Glass blue onto another piece. Then die cut my poinsettia layers and leaves. I put it together on top of an embossed poinsettia background and added a sentiment on a little rectangle - and stepped out of my comfort zone and put it on an angle!
Here's the Peace on Earth mood board:
You can be inspired by it or you can make an "anything Christmas" card. Please check out the rest of the cards made by the Design Team over at Peace on Earth and then come and join us!
