Merriest Moments for Paper Players 621

 Well, all my Christmas cards are in the mail and I thought my festive card making was over for the year, But no, the team at The Paper Players got to me by having one of my all-time favourite Christmas combinations as their challenge colours this week!

So I had to then get out one of my all-time favourite bundles: Merriest Moments. If you're quick, you might still catch this one in the Last Chance Sale.

I resisted the temptation of the gorgeous hybrid embossing folder and went for the smaller stamped images. I started with stamping one small Cherry Cobbler poinsettia, masking it then adding in some foliage in Evening Evergreen. 

Then I stamped and die cut some more poinsettias so they could be layered up on top of the foliage but before doing that, I added in some gold embossed splatters... because I adore splatter stamps. They're such a great way to add in extra touches of colour.

The sentiment was a deviation from my original plan. I took the 'JOY' stamp from the set and stamped it in Cherry Cobbler. Then cut it out using one of the dies from Painted Labels then cut it down using one of the Stitched Rectangle dies so the top edge would blend in with the stitched detailing.

I used the lighter gold foil from the Brushed Metallic Cardstock pack and Brushed Metallic adhesive backed dots for the embellishment and flower centres. 

I'm sorry this set is retiring but delighted to give it such an opulent send-off.
