     This week I made a pot of poinsettias.  I plan to give this Christmas card to my Mom.  I've been wanting to turn a flower pot Fancy Fold in to a stand alone card using the Peaceful Poinsettia die yet keep the pull away tag.
     I started out with Christmas Collection 2014 as well as some sparkly red paper I picked up at Michaels.  Then I had tons of fun just die cutting away using Peaceful Poinsettia, Circle Ornaments,
Beautiful Borders and Fancy Foliage
     The border on the flower pot has a layer of vellum just to soften it a bit.  The sentiment is from the Holly Wreath set.
    You'll want to visit the rest of the Challenge Team for more inspiration on this challenge.

     I hope you have a safe and fun Thanksgiving!!  Remember those BLESSINGS!!
