Hello friends. I have a couple of Christmas cards to share today. I used Alex Syberia Festive Poinsettia stamp, dies and stencils for my cards. It is a big stamp but I love the way it turns out. Both cards are inspired by cards on Pinterest with some changes.
After stamping the poinsettia, I used the stencils with DOI Mowed Lawn (leaves) and Broken China & Salty Ocean (poinsettia), leaving the tips of the petals white and making the center darker. I used a yellow marker to color the center. I die cut the poinsettia and mounted it with foam tape on a SU Pacific Point panel embossed with Spellbinders Holly & Foliage EF, and then to the white card base. I embossed the sentiment from an older Recollections Christmas set on black with white and then fussy cut it and mounted with foam tape. I really love it in the blues.
This one is for a good friend whose favorite color is yellow so I thought I would make a yellow poinsettia. I used DOI Rustic Wilderness (leaves & center) and SU Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry inks for the poinsettia. I used the same sentiment embossed in gold on black. The background panel is SU Basic Beige embossed with Spellbinders Scattered Christmas EF. I added some gold pearls also.
I will link these to Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge as this is their 100th challenge. Congrats to them. I didn't use their mood board.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
Beautiful Poinsettia cards, I am hoping to go to a local greenhouse this week to see all the beautiful different colors of Poinsettias they offer, once I had a very unusual copper one.
