Heartfelt creations Poinsettia

when I bought my IWIA  pack it came in a lovely pink zippy carry bag and in it there were 4 cards to make in a kit....so here is number 1 ...with a few additions.....




the pieces came stamped and some cut out but the rest is left to your creativity.....ie the colouring ,shaping ect....so I added a couple of extra die cuts,from the holly berry precut stamp set and used the matching die....I used distress ink for the colours,shabby shutters and pine needles, the berrys are coloured with a very old colour box colour....cranberry ,I find getting the colour box ink pads very difficult.....I used a bit of chunky white frantage on the leaves to give a snowy effect....
the papers are from the paper pad and the die cut is from the raindrop and roses collection....lucky I had bought this die as I made a hash of the first attempt and cut the provided die in half..stuck it on  and then found it was too big....and in my attempt to remove it ruined it!....
pleased with the finished card!....
Hope your crafting is going well.......
