Scrapbook Sisters Card Challenge 55 - Christmas Flowers

Hello!!

I don't mind admitted I faced making this weeks card for the Scrapbook Sisters Card Challenge with more than a little trepidation as it's Christmas flowers this week... eek!!  I LOVE Christmas images, but Christmas flowers don't normally do it for me, mainly because they are normally poinsettia's and I'm really not that keen on them!  Personal taste I know, but any foliage that I have decorating the house has cinnamon and spiced orange tucked here and there.  Maybe it's because my Mum always gives us a plant and I struggle to keep it alive into the new year... actually that's not just poinsettias, I have that habit regardless of the plant or time of year!!

Anyway, I was struggling to come up with something but found a digi that was of a rose based Christmas design, much better :-D

I used some MME papers that came free with a magazine last month and a sketch, gotta love sketches to give you a kick up the bottom when you are having a blank mind moment!!  I made my own flower too out of a corner of paper and some Marianne Swirls

I coloured the image with copics, popped glossy accents on the leaves, a touch or red stickles on the berries,

then cut coloured the flowers again, cut out and 3D'd them onto the main image, with some black stickles in the middle.  Now I come to think of it, do they look more like poppies... Ooh heck what colour are the middle of a red Christmas rose??  Oh well...  I'll call it artistic licence!!

Here's a shot from the side, which hopefully will explain what I meant there!!
