Celebrate The Season - November DIVA

Hello Everyone! It is time for new Diva on Challenge. Teresa is hosting a brand-new Get Your Diva On Challenge, with the theme "Celebrate the Season".

And here is Teresa's inspiration photo:

Here's my project for this Challenge:

For this project I used stamps from my favorite Company a Verve Stamps.

For this box I used small gift box from Michael's store. I stamped leaves (Verve) on yellow c.s., sponged the edges and covering the box. Adhered ribbon and rhinestones.

For sentiment I used sentiment from "Poinsettia Christmas " (Verve) stamp set and beautiful Vintage Oval Frame (Verve Stamps). I did try to put the sentiment into this frame, but it was big for this. First, I stamped the first words, and then i stamped the last. I thinking, it is perfect for this frame.


I also, added on top of sentiment, this beautiful poinsettia flowers and ribbon.

For this card I used new Mojo Monday # 215 Sketch.




For this gift set i made a Christmas tree. I like to used something special for my creations. And for this project I added my own a Christmas tree with poinsettia flower ornaments.


First, I made a red paper cone for tree, then decorate with punched paper brunches (Martha Stewart) around cone, and added stamped poinsettia flowers and ribbon for finishing touches.
