Polkadoodle Challenge 47 - Any Die Will Do!

Welcome to another Polkadoodle Challenge!  The theme this week is:

Any Die Will Do

I've used my Marianne Creatables Poinsettia die for the first time and also, I'm ashamed to say, used silicone glue for the first time too!  I usually use foam pads but thought I'd give silicone ago as I'm tired of gunking up my good scissors and having to keep cleaning them!  Just so lazy!

I've covered my circular base card with a paper from Here Comes Christmas cd and also cut out some of the tiny Poinsettia flowers and then layered them onto the Sizzix Scallop tags - I've handwritten the sentiments.


I've added a touch of glitter glue to the corners of the flowers - the red card that I've used I've had for ages and it's been that long I can't remember where I got it from!  I've made the leaves out of green card and then cut up one of the flower shapes.  The centres of the flowers have a little gold gem added and the ribbons are from my stash.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Crafty Creations:  Christmas Is Coming
Ruby's Rainbow:  Shaped Cards
Whimsy Inspirations:  Traditional Christmas Colours
Shopping Our Stash:  Leaf or Leaves
Ooh La La:  Someone Special
CD Sunday:  Layer It Up

Papers:  Polkadoodles - Here Comes Christmas cd
Dies:  Marianne Creatables - Ponisettia, Sizzix Scallop Tags
Everything else:  My stash
