A Feminine Shoe and an Encircled Poinsettia

My youngest sister loves shoes and she is a voracious reader.  I made this card for her and for Try It on Tuesday ("For a Lady"), Inkspirational ("CAS with a twist of stickers or ephemera" - I think the shoe counts as ephemera as I took it off a commercial card), and Word Power (the sentiment is the main focus).

I stamped the sentiment and trimmed with a pierced dot rectangle die, and popped the shoe up next to it - all on a matching pink card base.

And of course, getting on with Christmas cards.  This one uses up a lot of snippets of leftover cs so I'm linking up to the Snippets Challenge.  And to the Flower Challenge ("Add Circles") and Beautiful Blossoms (anything flowers). 

I die cut the poinsettia in red cs, sponged a bit of Distress Aged Mahogany around the edges, then layered them together. I embellished with dark red gemstones.

The sentiment and poinsettia are placed on white shimmer cs. I bordered the poinsettia's circle with a red cs inverted scallops circle. The card base is green shimmer cs.
