JUGS #267 and PB November

When I saw the color challenge at Just Us Girls, I wondered how I would ever make something with those colors.  The red and gold, yes, but adding turquoise?



When I finally came up with an idea, it ended up being one of my favorite cards.


I just HAD to have the frame dies from SSS then quickly forgot about them.  I ran across them while looking for something else and decided they would be perfect for framing my Penny Black poinsettia.  I embossed the flower with gold and watercolored it with Distress Inks.

I'm also going to enter this in the Penny Black November Challenge - Anything Goes.  This is a new challenge for me and you don't have to use PB stamps but since I did I'm sending it along.

Thanks for stopping by.  Your visits and comments are always appreciated.
