The flower used on this card is very well aged and it comes in a package of separate floral images. There are multiple red but only two green. The package has been laying there - taunting me - asking to be made into a card. When I saw the current challenge at Christmas Card Throwdown where the challenge is to use the color "kraft", I made the decision to use the flowers - or at least three of the floral pieces.
I layered three of the flowers together for the floral focal point. I added it to a dry embossed square of kraft paper which was matted with gold. This was added to a dry embossed kraft front on a kraft card base. I die cut the sentiment from the same gold as the mat and also a couple layers of kraft to give the sentiment some dimension. Gold paint was splattered on the card front.
Kraft is a hard color to photograph but the card is very pretty. I am going to make another card and I am water coloring the red petals to make them a darker red.
I have been on a "where did the mojo go" creative lull so it was good to make a card.

I agree, kraft is not easy to color nor easy to photograph!!! But you did a great job using the beautiful poinsettia and adding lots of textures to your card! Thank you so much for playing along with 52CCT. Rosi x
