Inspiration: October 2021 Card Maps Sketch
This card is pretty simple, but I love the resulting look. I paired the poinsettia chipboard piece with a few stamped elements from the Merriest Moments stamp set. I also pulled out the retired pearl clusters for the center of the poinsettia. The sentiment was embossed in black powder on the green ledger patterned paper and die-cut with a stitched circle. The sketch didn't have a vertical line, but I decided to add a piece of silver satin ribbon to fill in the space a little bit more. I added two decorative brads from the collection on each end.
I wasn't sure the size of card I would need to keep the proportions from the sketch, so I started with the poinsettia and build out. The finished card measures 4½" x 7". I made a matching envelope using patterned paper.
