Scrapbook Boutique - Poinsettia Spray

Hello Blogger's,

I'm sharing a card made for Scrapbook Boutique, if you came here from Evelyn's blog you'll have seen it featured today.  Have you joined the Photo Inspirational Challenge this month? You still have time to play along.  Click the above link of see the photo in my side bar.

Today's card uses one of  Heartfelt Creations Christmas ornament sets with a layered Poinsettia.

SBB carry these amazing stamps with matching dies here in Australia.  Spellbinders new 2011  Heirloom Ornaments are the perfect way to show of the set too.

The regular visitors to my blog would know I like to use digital papers on cards from time to time. It's great to have a small selection on your computer ready to print out.  A while back I saw that Crafty Secrets had a CD with lots of beautiful dsp as well as antique images, templates and much more.  

I was thrilled when I saw that Scrapbook Boutique stocked the CD as well as so many of the beautiful stamps.  The dsp on this card is from the CD called Creating with Vintage Patterns.
