Christmas Card with Fusion Card Challenge Sketch

 Here is a quick card I was able to put together with an "extra" poinsettia that was hiding under some things on my craft desk.  This week's Fusion Sketch was perfect for this element.  

The background panel is Sage Card Stock and the 'Tis the Season stamp set greeting was stamped in Evergreen Ink.  The vertical stripes are Laser Tape from the Dollar Tree which I've had in my stash for years. The poinsettia is from Traditional Holiday stamp set (retired 3 years ago from Close to my Heart) and was stamped in Black Ink onto Ruby and Evergreen card stocks and laminated before attaching to the card front.

Here is the wonderful Fusion Sketch Graphic which inspired my card layout:
