The Challenge #53
Guess who's the guest designer at The Challenge this week. Yes, it's me. This proves it.
I won challenge # 50 with this card and Kimberly asked if I would like to be a guest designer. Would I?! You bet!! Here's the inspiration for this week.
Hmmm. Non-traditional Christmas card. What will I do? I had an idea right away but had to do a little finagling to work it out.
One year I wrapped all my presents in kraft paper with gold tags and that inspired me to make this card. The Neenah Desert Storm paper is covered with polka dots, stenciled and gold embossed. And then came the problem. I knew I wanted a poinsettia but one I have is too big and the other has other greens around it. I went looking for a leaf that I could use to make my own and found one on SSS Summer Garden. The top layer is as it comes in the set, gold embossed on black. The middle layer is stamped in a circle and fussy cut. I thought it needed more leaves so I cut apart my practice paper and inserted the individual leaves. Voila'. Talk about stretching your stamps.

Congrats on your GDT! Your card really shines!
Bobby, I was so sorry to hear the news about your mom's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
On a much lighter note, I absolutely LOVE this card. The gold polka dots are fabulous.

Congratulations on the Guest Design spot on The Challenge, Bobby! Your card is simply scrummy all over! I'm weak over those giant polka dots and gorgeous poinsettia!! Enjoy your day!! Hugs, Darnell
Your card is lovely - I enjoy the kraft and gold. This is great! I also enjoy that we have had the same idea -- I have cranberry picks, raffia and mauve decorations on the tree, so I often wrap everything in kraft paper and go from there!
Elegant & Gorgeous!! I absolutely love this!!
Have a blessed day,
