Midweek Magnolias Challenge #153-"Christmas"

Happy Wednesday dear crafty friends!!

I hope that everyone is in good shape as far as their Christmas prep goes!  I have my big annual family party that we're hosting here on December 17th...still lots to do but not in panic mode just yet...give me a couple days and I'll be hyper ventilating I'm sure...lol!!  I'm always well prepared in my head...it's just the logistics of actually following through that I have a hard time with...GROAN!

Okay onto to today's post!  Today at Midweek Magnolias we begin a brand new challenge...and it fits right in with getting those Christmas cards/projects done cause our theme for the next two weeks is "Christmas" and as usual we are sponsored by the wonderful Magnolia Sweden!

Here is what I came up with...
please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow...
I've had it in my head to make a poinsettia plant out of the fabulous Foamiran...
now the problem was that I couldn't find any in red...SO...I went with white and inked it red...
well you should see my hands...three days after finishing my project I'm still trying to get the red off my hands...LOL!!...
the poinsettias were made using Tim Holtz poinsettia die...
I used a paper mache pot which I covered with some Christmas tissue and decoupage...
anchored it onto two scalloped circle matts and then silver doilies...
the tag is a Tim Holtz die...
DP is Maja Design "A Gift For You"...
 without the tag...
I ran lace all around the rim of the paper mache pot...
I added this wired ribbon decorated with a diamante star and dear charm...
 top view...
the Foamiran poinsettias with chiffon/pearl flower clusters throughout...
 smaller poinsettias were cut using Magnolia Doohickey Kit Volume 2 and Maja Design from "It's Christmas Time"...
 this is sweet "Lace Hood Tilda" from the A Lovely Christmas 2015 collection...
coloured with my copics and dusted with Chunky white Frantage...
framed with rhinestone lace...
I added tiny red bows for her hair ribbons...
 the tag...
 back of tag for a personalized sentiment...

And that is my poinsettia plant!!  Time for you to check out the gorgeous creations that my talented team mates have to show you...then come on over and join us in this fun Christmas challenge!!
