Peace strolled down the lane, taking its sweet time to enjoy its surroundings when suddenly it came upon another. "Hello, there," Peace kindly reached out. "Hello," said Joy. Together they went, skipping down the road. Along their way they found Happiness, Patience, Innocence. And then they came upon Love, Understanding, Liberty and a whole slew of others...
Today is a Carbon Copy day and Lora from Fluer de Lo is joining me in using Wplus9's Poinsettia Patterns for an entry into Yvonne's Guest Designer Challenge: Clear Block Stamping with Piali Biwas. Lora has an exceptional writing ability and her cards are purely clean and simply gorgeous.
My card today is another attempt at a modern design with it's off center stamping, clean lines and fresh color combination. In this card, I took creative liberties and used the poinsettias and rhinestones to represent snowflakes. Gotta love creative liberty!
Please hop on over to Lora's blog to check out her take!
Supplies:
Cardstock: (White) OfficeMax, (Basic Black) SU, (Kraft) PTI
Stamps: (Poinsettia Patterns) WPlus9
Ink: (White Craft) SU, (Onyx Black) Versafine

This is just perfection!
Love that little "friendship" story. :) Great card! Wonderful non-traditional colors and if you hadn't said that those were poisettias, etc., I would have just thought, "Cool snowflakes! Wonder who makes those."
Sigh...I just love this card Karen, ten times ten puffy hearts!

Those poinsettias so make perfect snowflakes and I love the white ink on the kraft. :)
