Hello friends. I had to make another poinsettia card for The Flower Challenge since they are looking for Christmas Florals. I am so sad this is the last challenge for The Flower Challenge. I have always been inspired by the DT cards and many players and also enjoyed joining in.
This card is for a special couple at church. I embossed a panel of Evening Evergreen with Spellbinders Scenic Poinsettia EF and tried to splatter it with gold paint but didn't do too good, so I took the end of a toothpick dipped in the gold paint and put the dots where I wanted them - worked out great, in my opinion. :) I cut the small die from SU Poinsettia Petals (ret.) using SU Cherry Cobbler, shaped the petals and glued them together, then added a gold foil die cut center. The gold foil sprigs are from the same die set, but the pine branches are from a Spellbinders set. The sentiment panel is cut with a PTI Love to Layer: Soft Ridges die and stamped in Cherry Cobbler using an older Recollections stamp set. I mounted the white panel with foam tape and added the poinsettia and foliage in the upper left corner. This was added to a white card base and my card was done.
I will also link to Festive Friday Challenge - used red, white, green, and Christmas Sentiment.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
I love the warmth from the the traditional Christmas colors you used, including that gorgeous poinsettia!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card, JoAnn! I love the embossed panel!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, your gold dipped toothpick really worked its charm as a finishing touch to such an elegant floral Christmas card! I love that ef and feel certain that it didn't get used this season - shame on me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the second helpings to our TFC gallery, my friend!

Fabulous texture, dimension and contrast of colors, JoAnn. What a beautiful card you've created for that couple. Thanks for sharing it with us at The Flower Challenge.
