Tartan Christmas

Hiya folks, sorry for my absence the past couple of weeks, first of all had my youngest dislocating his knee again and had a few hospital appointments for him, then that rolled on to the school October break, so now back to ''normal'' ... Think I need a holiday to get over all the toing and froing!! Lol...So on to my latest sample, I have made this tartan themed Christmas card using '' Poinsettia project sheet'' by Delightful Digi's that you will love!! Here is my completed card...

My Project 
Products Used 
Delightful Digi's - Poinsettia Project sheet
Crafter's Companion - Watercolour card for image
LuminArte H2O's - Olive vine, Golden jade, Moss green, Poppy red, Cinnamon stick and Sunflower
Liquid Pearls - Ruby red
Creative Expressions - Sue Wilson Holly Sprays dies
X-Cut - Merry Christmas dies
Docrafts Papermania - Pocket Full of Posies backing paper and Forever Friends Gold adhesive domes
Pinflair - Ice Diamond, Buff-It ( Antique Silver and Brass)
Pearls, gem and gold card from my stash

First of all I chose the gorgeous red tartan paper, cut to size then buffed the edges with Pinflair Buff-it's and placed on to 7x7 card blank. I printed off the 'Poinsettia project sheet'' cut out, then coloured using the various Twinkling H2O's, that I took out of retirement from being stuck in a box for ages!!!. Once dry I layered them together, added the Ice Diamond and then gold domes. I placed the finished poinsettias onto the card adding die cut 'Holly Sprays', finishing off with liquid pearl berries added to holly sprays, pearls and gem in corners and die cut sentiment!!
