A new challenge at Divas by Design.

Happy Wednesday blogger friends.
 
Hope you are all having a lovely week. Are you all managing to fit in some crafty time?
 
 
Today sees the start of a new challenge over at Diva's by Design. We would like to see Festive Floral/Christmas flowers.
 
I have used an image I bought two years ago from Lili of the Valley All in a Row.

The items used with a link to the online store will be at the bottom of this post.
 
I was intending to use some papers from Nitwit Collections Christmas Linen for the backing papers but my printer ran out of ink. I just had enough ink to print out the paper which had the poinsettias on it which I cut out.
 
 
The backing papers are from LOTV as is the sentiment in the centre of the Poinsettias. 


I have coloured the image with Inktense pencils and Distress Markers.
The bow made from ribbon in my stash. The stars are made from Martha Stewart air drying clay and a mould.
 


The red berries are from The Range and the frosted berries are from Anne Marie Designs. I cannot see the exact berries but they have similar ones here.
 



 
 
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges.
 
Inky Chicks - Christmas
Oldie but Goodie - Christmas (stamp is more than 6 months old)
The Crafty Blogger Network - Christmas
Penny Black and More - Get ahead for Christmas
That Craft Place - Girls but no Pink
Fan-Tastic Tuesday - Anything goes with a twist - add flowers
Addicted to Stamps - Anything goes
LOTV's Ideas to Inspire - Anything goes
Scribble and Scrap - Anything goes
 


I would like to see hello to my new followers. Thank you for your wonderful comments.
 
Today is my extremely long day at work so I will look forward to catching up with you on Thursday.

    I'm always pleased when I call "LOTV" when I see one of these images scrolling up. Your pencil coloring on this darling image is super. Lovely highlights and great shades. Perfect papers with the tartan plaid too. Wonderful Christmas card. TFS

    Stunning Christmas card I love this image its one of my favourites even though its an older one. I've had it stamped ready to colour on my desk for at least 7 weeks and not got round to it yet other things have taken priority . You have inspired me to get on and colour it and make a card. Your card is a fabulous design and I love the beautiful Christmas flowers Love and Hugs Carole x
